Important 3 points away from home. Clean sheet. Saka goal. Merino’s brace. Rice assist. Trossard assist. Dowman’s UCL debut. Annous’ UCL debut. 4 UCL games, 4 wins, zero goals conceded. Upward only.

Meanwhile, @gam marveled at how far Arsenal had come historically:
19 goals for club and country in 2025. Merino is shining. Arsenal have kept seven clean sheets in a row. The only time they’ve stopped opponents scoring in eight consecutive matches was in 1903!.
@oluwasegunfunmi added confidently:
Arsenal will soon break the record set in 1903 and set another record in 2025/2026 season. What a time to be an Arsenal fan.

@mfagam summed up the evolution:
Another commanding win and it feels like Arsenal are mastering every detail of the league phase — the rhythm, the tempo, the sharp passing, and the hunger to keep clean sheets. Everything points to a side that’s not just winning but evolving. This isn’t just momentum, it’s a message that Arsenal are here to stay.
A Night of Records: Max Dowman Makes History

@sportscity24_7 shared the moment:
What a moment to remember! At just 15, Max Dowman steps onto the Champions League stage and writes his name into history. Breaking records at this age shows not only his talent but his fearless spirit. The future looks incredibly bright for this young star.
On media duties was Arsenal Defensive Midfielder Christian Norgard who spoke with the Arsenal media shared via the team’s X handle after the game, the danish midfielder touched on what it means to go away from home and get a victory with a clean sheet. They posted:
The Road Ahead
Arsenal’s 2–0 victory away from home reinforces their status as one of Europe’s most in-form teams. With 10 consecutive wins, no goals conceded in over seven matches, and Saka, Merino, and Rice in peak form, belief is growing that Mikel Arteta’s side are ready to win on all fronts.
As they turn their attention to domestic duties with a trip to Sunderland next, Arsenal fans are united in one voice, this feels like the start of something truly special.
