Summary

Arsenal are all but through to the round of 16 in the Champions League following their 3-0 win against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday Night.

Art de Roché and James McNicholas join Ian Stone to reflect on the game. There’s praise for Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri. We discussed the performances of the rotated squad players and there's a mention for Nathan Butler-Oyedeji after his Champions League debut.

Plus we talk transfer news (or lack of) and look ahead to an important game away against Wolves on Saturday.
