Arsenal earned a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Olympiacos at the Emirates, showing resilience against a side that pushed them throughout the match.

Gabriel Martinelli broke the deadlock early after a close-range tap-in, following a shot that hit the post.

Despite Arsenal’s control, Olympiacos threatened on several occasions, with David Raya producing key saves especially to deny Daniel Podence’s volley.

A potential equaliser from Olympiacos was ruled out for offside, and Arsenal sealed the win late through Bukayo Saka’s calm finish in stoppage time.

The Gunners showed patience and composure to maintain their lead and claim a vital three points in the Champions League group stage.
