Arsenal Sets Records with Dominant Win Over PSV
Arsenal's 7-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League Round of 16 was not only a statement win but also a record-breaking performance. The Gunners became the first team in UEFA Champions League history to score seven or more goals in an away knockout match.
This result matches the largest margin of victory in Champions League knockout history, equaling Bayern Munich's 7-1 win over Sporting CP in 2009. Additionally, Arsenal had never scored more than five goals in an away Champions League match before, with their previous best being 5-1 victories against Sporting Lisbon and Inter Milan during the group stages.
Another notable achievement came from Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly, who combined for a goal. This marked the first time in Champions League history that two English players under the age of 18 were involved in scoring a goal.
