Liverpool, Arsenal & Villa claim first-leg success in Champions League last-16 | OneFootball

The three English teams have made an impressive start to their Champions League round of 16 matches.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa all recorded victories away from home to move into a brilliant position to qualify for the quarter-finals.

The Reds claimed a 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday to secure a first-leg advantage in the tie.

PSG dominated the game. However, with goalkeeper Alisson Becker excellent between the sticks, the French giants failed to breach the visitors’ defence.

Substitute Harvey Elliott’s late goal put Liverpool in control of the tie. They are the favourites to make it to the quarter-finals of the competition.

Villa and Arsenal are also in a dominating position to qualify for the last eight.

Unai Emery’s side ran out 3-1 winners against Club Brugge at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Tuesday.

Leon Bailey put the Lions ahead in the opening three minutes, but Maxim De Cuyper quickly restored parity for the hosts.

The game looked to be heading for a draw until two goals in six minutes late on turned the tie massively in favour of Villa.

Arsenal wrapped up a 7-1 success at PSV Eindhoven, with six of their players getting on the scoresheet.
