Arsenal 2-0 PSG: Gunners Survive Second Half Scare, Havertz & Saka on Target [VIDEO]

Arsenal took full advantage of two costly errors by Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to secure a 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium in their Champions League clash tonight.

The Gunners’ first win of the new campaign came courtesy of first-half goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, with Mikel Arteta’s side capitalizing on set-pieces to break down their Ligue 1 opponents.

Leandro Trossard provided a pinpoint cross for Havertz’s opener in the 20th minute, but Donnarumma’s mistake made the goal possible. The PSG keeper rushed off his line and failed to claim the ball, allowing Havertz an easy finish.

Donnarumma was again in the spotlight just 15 minutes later when Saka’s free kick sailed through the penalty area, slipping past the Italian goalkeeper right down the middle to double Arsenal’s lead before halftime.

Despite dominating possession, PSG struggled to break down Arsenal’s defense. Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes came close in the first half, with Mendes hitting the post, but they couldn’t find a breakthrough.

Gabriel Martinelli nearly extended Arsenal’s lead early in the second half, but his one-on-one effort was saved by Donnarumma. PSG had their best chance to pull one back when Joao Neves hit the crossbar from a corner midway through the second half.

Arsenal, boasting one of Europe’s most formidable defenses, managed to hold on for a clean sheet, leaving Luis Enrique’s PSG side with just one goal in the UCL this season — an own goal in their previous match against Girona.
