Arsenal extend unbeaten Champions League run with dominant win over Brugge

Arsenal secured their sixth consecutive victory in this season’s UEFA Champions League, cruising to a confident 3–0 win away to Club Brugge. The standout performer of the night was Noni Madueke, who delivered a superb brace.
The opener came in the first half thanks to a moment of individual brilliance from Madueke. Picking up the ball deep, the winger danced past several defenders before unleashing a thunderous strike from 25 metres straight into the top corner.
Right after the interval, Madueke struck again. Following a sharp low delivery from Martín Zubimendi along the byline, the Englishman calmly tapped the ball into an empty net from close range. Moments later, Gabriel Martinelli sealed the victory, scoring his fifth consecutive Champions League goal — a club record for an Arsenal player.
With this win, Arsenal remain the only team with a perfect six-out-of-six record, maintaining a three-point lead over their nearest rivals at the top of the Champions League table.
