Arsenal advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals in consecutive seasons eliminating PSV Eindhoven from the competition.

Leading by six goals on aggregate, Arsenal were heavy favorites to advance on the night. As such,
Mikel Arteta heavily rotated his side in key areas bringing in the likes of Ben White, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Kieran Tierney and Jorginho.

The Ukrainian defender, playing in midfield, opened the scoring with a strong, left-footed strike from outside the box. Declan Rice also scored with a header for Arsenal's ninth goal of the fixture. Raheem Sterling notably assisted both of Arsenal's goals in the first half.

PSV refused to go quietly with Ivan Perisic and Couhaib Driouech scoring on the night, but their Champions League campaign ends on the night.
