Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta\u2019s men delivered an impressive performance in their first game back in the Champions League as goals from Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard sealed a deserved win at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u2018The difference in quality was just too big tonight,\u2019 Bosz said after PSV\u2019s defeat.<\/p>\n
\u2018If we were to lie in front of the box we would have conceded to them too. We did not defend well in our own box, we were not short. But that also has to do with their quality.<\/p>\n
\u2018Arsenal are one of the best teams in the world, we are not. I don\u2019t blame the boys.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The result puts Arsenal top of Group B, while Sevilla and Lens have a point each after their 1-1 draw in Spain.<\/p>\n
Speaking after his team\u2019s defeat at the Emirates Stadium, PSV captain Luuk de Jong already believes Arsenal will finish in top spot following their dominant performance.<\/p>\n
\u2018Arsenal are simply a very good team,\u2019 De Jong said.<\/p>\n
\u2018We tried to put pressure on them, but we quickly conceded two goals.<\/p>\n
\u2018They know exactly where to move when we put pressure on them and they always knew where to find a free man.<\/p>\n
\u2018They have a lot of calmness with the ball, their level is so high. It was difficult for us today.<\/p>\n
\u2018Still, our team deserves compliments because we fought. Arsenal were just a size too big. We will have to compete with the other teams for second place.\u2019<\/p>\n
