Havertz opened the scoring in the 20th minute, heading in Leandro Trossard’s cross, before Saka’s free-kick from near the touchline deceived PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, slipping through a crowded penalty area to make it 2-0.
PSG came close to responding, with Nuno Mendes and Joao Neves both hitting the woodwork either side of half-time. Despite PSG’s efforts, Arsenal’s dominant first-half performance laid the foundation for the win.
