Without Ødegaard, Eberechi Eze stepped up with a breathtaking opener that felt like an arrival, then Declan Rice put the tie beyond doubt with a cool finish. Arsenal dictated tempo, pressed with purpose, and threatened on set pieces — a night of control rather than chaos.
Arteta’s rotation kept the engine fresh with one eye on Wembley, and the performance sends a clear message: this team isn’t just competing in Europe, it expects to win. Next up is Sporting, but the momentum — and belief — is growing.
