Arsenal thrash Lille as Atletico Madrid beat Manchester United

Arsenal scored three goals in seven second-half minutes to beat Lille 3-0 and extend their perfect start to the Champions League. Jurrien Timber's deft finish opened the floodgates just after the hour mark at the Emirates Stadium before Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka rounded off the scoring. Victory takes Arsenal into a share of the lead at the top of the Champions League table alongside Barcelona and Sporting Lisbon. Mikel Arteta was able to use the wealth of resources at his disposal as he made five changes to the side that beat Leeds 2-1 on Saturday. But it was Lille boss Davide Ancelotti, son of Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was the happier after a goalless first half. The visitors even had the ball in the net but Ayase Ueda was flagged offside. Bruno Guimaraes came closest to breaking the deadlock for Arsenal before the break when he fired wide from close range and then saw a powerful shot from range parried by Berke Ozer. The Gunners quickly went through the gears in the second period once Timber dinked the ball over Ozer from Noni Madueke's pass.
