Arsenal Annihilate Atlético in Ruthless Display

 

London — Arsenal continued their imperious European form with a resounding 4–0 demolition of Atlético Madrid at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. The Gunners dominated from the start, blending intensity with precision as Viktor Gyökeres ended his nine-game drought in style with a clinical brace.

Gabriel Magalhães opened the scoring with a towering header from a Declan Rice free kick, before Martinelli doubled the lead with a composed finish after a swift counterattack. Gyökeres then added two more, sealing Arsenal’s third straight victory of the campaign and further underlining the team’s attacking rhythm.

Manager Mikel Arteta praised his side’s “discipline and hunger,” noting how the defensive line, led by William Saliba, neutralized Atlético’s threats. Diego Simeone’s men, by contrast, were subdued and frustrated, managing only one shot on target throughout the match.

The win keeps Arsenal top of their UCL group with nine points and no goals conceded, an impressive statement that places them firmly among the competition’s early favourites. Arteta, however, urged focus, warning that “Europe rewards only consistency.”
