Arsenal 3-0 Dinamo Zagreb - 3 talking points as Gunners earn key win

Arsenal enjoyed a comfortable night at the Emirates, downing Dinamo Zagreb 3-0.

Well, that was exactly what the doctor ordered for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta's team managed a 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League at the Emirates.

Declan Rice got the party started after less than two minutes after a delightful lay off from Kai Havertz and lashed home to ease any pre-game nerves.

Gabriel Martinelli turned provider in the second half with a pin-point cross that found Havertz, and the German headed home for his second goal in as many games. Skipper Martin Odegaard completed the good night's work with a tap-in from close range in injury time after a Leandro Trossard cross found him in the box.

The win moves the Gunners up to third in the table behind Barcelona with one matchday left as Arsenal now looks odds on to qualify for the Round of 16.

Here are three takeaways from the win over Zagreb.

Havertz discovers that goal scoring touch

Kai's header in the second half made it two in two for the German as he got some much-deserved praise after what could easily be described as horrific treatment after a few bad performances.

Does Arsenal need a striker? Yes, but Havertz proved that he can be an option up top for the Gunners, but he can't be consistently relied upon to deliver the goods.

A performance like this is good for the soul for a player who often takes a lot of flak despite being played out of position.
