Arsenal 2-0 Olympiacos: Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka on target

Gabriel Martinelli’s early goal helped Arsenal maintain their perfect start of the Champions League League when they overcome Olympiacos.

After beating the athletics club in their first match in the competition thanks to a goal and a decisive pass from the Brazilian striker, he was crucial again for the Gunners.

Stronger Viktor Gykerres made his way through the defense of the Greek part, but when his shot rebounded on the post after being saved by Konstantinos Tzolakis, Martinelli was on site to type in the rebound.

The replacement Bukayo Saka sealed the success in an additional time with a shot that crossed the legs of Tzolakis.

Mikel Arteta had made six changes on the side that radically defeated Newcastle United on Sunday while the Arsenal manager used his new team depth thanks to a summer expenditure of 250 million pounds sterling which brought eight new players.

This played a huge role in a solid start of this season and Arteta will be happy with the opportunity to protect key players such as Declan Rice and Saka in their busy schedule.

Olympiacos threatened after the opening of Martinelli in the 12th minute while Daniel Podence forced David Raya to an excellent backup of a superb volley in the interior of the area that the goalkeeper pushed on the transverse bar.

Francisco Chiquiquho also excluded a goal for offside while visitors pushed to an equalizer.

But Arsenal was also likely at the other end, with Tzolakis Martin Odegaard denied by Tzolakis.

And after having implemented this chance for his captain, it was Saka who ensured success just before the end.
