Arsenal flexed its muscle as a Champions League contender with a 2–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.

The Gunners did all of their damage in the first half on goals by Kai Havertz in the 20th minute and another by Bukayo Saka in the 35th minute. From there, Arsenal’s defense led by Spanish goalkeeper David Raya kept the French club from getting back into the game.
