Overview
- Viktor Gyökeres struck twice in three minutes to snap a seven‑match barren run after goals from Gabriel Magalhães and Gabriel Martinelli sealed a dominant second half.
- Arsenal made it three wins from three and three clean sheets in the Champions League, joining the group leaders on nine points after limiting Atlético to a single shot on target.
- Declan Rice deliveries again proved decisive as Gabriel headed in a free kick for the opener before the centre-back’s back‑post header set up Gyökeres from a corner.
- Mikel Arteta lauded Gyökeres for making Arsenal “a much better team” and singled out teenager Myles Lewis‑Skelly for a strong display capped by the assist for Martinelli.
- Martin Zubimendi’s first‑half booking triggers a one‑match suspension for the next European fixture at Slavia Prague on November 4, as Arsenal also set a record of seven straight Champions League wins over Spanish opponents.
