Arsenal showed slight improvement in their Champions League campaign this season as Arsene Wenger’s men were able to finish top of their group despite looking like missing it just before the final round this midweek.
Gunners’ success in defeating Basel 4-1 puts them sitting ahead of their rival, Paris Saint-Germain as the French outfit surprisingly got held into a 2-2 home draw by Ludogorets.
Despite already securing qualification, Wenger’s boys showed their willingness to push hard for that group winner position by putting on a strong display against their opponent.
Summer signing, Lucas Perez was the main act on that tie as he netted a hat-trick before Alex Iwobi added a fourth for Arsenal.
Basel themselves were only able to snatch one back through Seydou Doumbia, who netted the consolation goal on 78 minutes, offering a slight reduction over the disappointment they experienced from that heavy defeat.
Meanwhile, it quite a surprise for PSG to miss out finishing top on the group as they only picked up one point against Ludogorets.
The French giant even have to come back twice before eventually rescuing one point from that tie, a result that brought some disappointment for the fans and club’s management as they were expecting to come out as group winner.
