Arsenal 2-2 PSV - 3 talking points as Gunners secure progression

Arsenal secured progression to the quarter finals of the Champions League after a 2-2 draw against PSV, to go through 9-3 on aggregate.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side has set up a Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid after a 9-3 aggregate win over PSV, as the Gunners had to settle for a 2-2 draw in the second leg at the Emirates.

After a blistering 7-1 win in the first leg, Arsenal had the contest wrapped up, but Arteta would have wanted his team to keep the foot on the throat in the return leg.

Oleksandr Zinchenko opened the scoring inside 10 minutes with a delightful curling finish before Ivan Perišić leveled for the visitors. Declan Rice is in some sort of goal-scoring form as he got on the end of Raheem Sterling's cross to head home to restore the Gunners' lead.

It was one they held until the 70th minute until Couhaib Driouech chipped over an on-rushing David Raya to bring the vistors level for a second time.

Both teams huffed and puffed, but it was Arsenal, who simply cruised all night, who advanced to the quarter-finals of the competition.

3 takeaways from Arsenal's 2-2 draw against PSV

Rice...the forward?

We love Declan's power in midfield going both ways, but it has been his goal-scoring touch of late that has really taken his game to another level.

His strike against Manchester United was sublime and against PSV, he timed his run into the box to perfection to get on the end of Sterling's cross and he headed home with authority.

Amid Arsenal's goal-scoring woes, Rice has stepped up in the last two games.

A move to centre forward up next?
