Mikel Arteta must drop underperforming Arsenal forward for Everton clash | OneFootball

Arsenal returned to winning ways with a 3-0 Champions League triumph over Monaco at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Gunners had a quiet start to the game as Monaco caught the eye with their high pressing and impressive quick distribution.

However, the London giants gained momentum and should have scored at least five goals before the half-time interval.

Gabriel Jesus was guilty of missing two one-on-one chances, with both efforts failing to beat the goalkeeper.

The Brazilian provided an assist for Bukayo Saka’s goal, but it was followed by Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli also spurning big chances.

Odegaard was clear on goal with no defender nearby, but his early shot went just wide of the goalkeeper’s far post.

Arsenal were not at their best in the second half but were able to secure a vital win.

Kai Havertz’s superb pressing created the error for Saka’s second goal. Saka turned provider for Havertz to make it 3-0.

The German made an immediate impact in his 20-minute cameo, and manager Mikel Arteta has an easy decision to make for this weekend.

Jesus was poor with his finishing and should have had a hat-trick.

Arteta tried to support Jesus with his productive comments in the pre-match presser, but he should be dropped against Everton.
