Summary

Amy Lawrence and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to discuss the 3-0 win away to Club Brugge on Wednesday.

The panel reflect on the attitude throughout this Arsenal team, Noni Madueke’s player of the match performance, Ethan Nwaneri’s eye-catching cameo, the return of Gabriel Jesus, potential concerns over Victor Gyokeres’s form and Gabriel Martinelli making history in style with a spectacular goal.

Plus, they look ahead to Wolves at home on Saturday night and we hear from Anna in Kenya in this week’s instalment of ‘Up Your Arsenal’.

Producer: Robby Williams
