Arsenal made it six wins from six in this season’s Champions League with a comfortable victory over Club Brugge on Wednesday night. Noni Madueke was the hero for the Gunners, following up his goal in the 3-1 win over Bayern Munich a fortnight ago with a brace, while Gabriel Martinelli kept up his remarkable goalscoring record in the competition.

The result sees the north London outfit restore their three-point lead at the top of the 36-team Champions League group as they take a giant step towards confirming automatic qualification for the knockout stages. Mikel Arteta suffered a triple blow ahead of kick-off with Declan Rice, William Saliba and Leandro Trossard all ruled out, thus joining Gabriel, Kai Havertz and Cristhian Mosquera on the sidelines.
