After six long years without featuring in Europe's premier competition, the Gunners made a sensational return against PSV in the opening game of the new campaign.

Mikel Arteta's men blew the Dutch giants away and came out comfortable 4-0 victors with all of the north London club's players earning plaudits, including Kai Havertz, who has not had an easy time of it at Arsenal since his big-money move from Chelsea.

Captain Martin Odegaard, Ben White, Leandro Trossard and David Raya - who again got the nod ahead of Aaron Ramsdale - all put in good shifts and were singled out for praise, but it was ultimately an impressive team performance.

Arsenal fans were ecstatic after the game and there is surely a belief that the Gunners can make a deep run in the Champions League this season.
