Arsenal get much-needed win over RC Lens

Arsenal blew RC Lens off the pitch in a devastating 14-minute spell as four goals were slammed home.

As far as overwhelming performances go, Arsenal's 6-0 beatdown of RC Lens in its Champions League contest has to be up there with the best.

The Gunners' swashbuckling attacking football returned in a devastating way as Kai Havertz got things rolling in the 13th minute before Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli all netted in the next 13 minutes. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard then made it a five-star performance as he lashed home a volley on the stroke of halftime.

The win secured Arsenal's progression to the knockout stages as it is yet another feather in the cap for the club as they continue the build back from obscurity. With the Champions League now taking a back seat, Arsenal can focus on league matters as they currently sit top of the pile.

With a favorable draw coming up that sees the Gunners face Wolves, Luton Town and then Aston Villa before the final group stage game against PSV, Arsenal has a chance to solidify its position in the Premier League.

As Odegaard called the result against Lens "mad," if the Gunners can go one better in the league than what they did last year, then we imagine that the Lens game won't be the only "mad" result that happens throughout the rest of the season.
