PSV showed early promise when Ismael Saibari struck the crossbar, but Arsenal took control after Jurrien Timber opened the scoring in the 18th minute. Just three minutes later, Ethan Nwaneri doubled the lead with a powerful finish after Myles Lewis-Skelly’s clever cutback.
Lewis-Skelly, who had already been booked, was lucky to avoid a second yellow after a foul on Richard Ledezma, prompting Mikel Arteta to replace him with Riccardo Calafiori before halftime. Arsenal extended their lead soon after, with Mikel Merino capitalising on a defensive error to make it 3-0, though Noa Lang pulled one back from the penalty spot after Thomas Partey fouled Luuk de Jong.
