00:00Khabib, Khabib, Khabib, Khabib, Khabib!
00:30It's a lovely strike by Zinchenko.
00:33I think the keeper probably could have done better, Dan.
00:35It was a strike with the inside of his foot rather than...
00:39Well, maybe it was a good full-on strike, looking at it from that angle.
00:43Yeah, he picked it up lovely.
00:45Great start for the Gunners.
00:54Here is Erdogan, and this is Havertz.
00:57Trossar will take a touch. Oh, that is wonderful!
01:01That is real quality, real class.
01:04Arsenal have a second here in double-quick time.
01:08And the German champions are being torn apart by the Gunners.
01:12It is Arsenal 2-0 Leverkusen.
01:14Yeah, still in shock from that first goal.
01:17Arsenal just took complete control.
01:19The move they just scored with reminds me of the little warm-up drills they were doing before the game, Dan,
01:23across the edge of the box.
01:24Three little set-passes, but it all came from a mistake.
01:28Arsenal winning the ball back.
01:30This availability and what composure from Trossar at the end.
01:34It's almost like the Harlem Globetrotters just playing around with it.
01:37I don't want to get too carried away, though, Dan.
01:40Every single Arsenal player so comfortable on the ball in tight areas, in defensive positions.
01:45Long for Jesus.
01:47Sunu initially heads it forward, but Jesus will get another goal.
01:51That was a little loose.
01:52A little loose from Alex Garcia.
01:56Trossar. Fans want him to shoot.
01:58He's going to oblige, I think.
01:59It is Trossar.
02:00Oh, it's a good save as well by Kovac.
02:03Gets across well to his right-hand side.
02:05Do not give this man an inch.
02:06He will take a mile.
02:14Jesus with a shot.
02:15Oh, and he's got in!
02:17Gabriel Jesus, who's worked tirelessly in the opening 37 minutes here.
02:22Dropping deep, drifting left and right.
02:24Real industry and energy and finding some quality here.
02:29With a precision strike to beat Matej Kovac to give Arsenal a third.
02:35He finds himself just getting more and more space on the edge of the box.
02:38And for me, Kovac's got to do a little bit better there, Dan.
02:40I thought he made a big of the Trossar one.
02:42Was a little bit laboured getting down.
02:44But he goes far too far to the left of his goal as well.
02:48Goals of golf, Arsenal freeing him up.
02:49I think Alonso will be a bit disappointed with his players at half-time.
03:02Gunnar's coming forward again.
03:03Saka, first time to run at the Leverkusen backline.
03:06Takes it to the byline.
03:08Wonderfully done by Havertz.
03:09Really good reaction inside the six-yard box.
03:13Saka and Havertz, combination that we saw so often last season.
03:17Coming up drops once again here.
03:19And that is a poacher's instinct from the German against his former club.
03:23Gets the first goal of this second half.
03:26And the fourth all told as the Gunners extend their advantage.
03:31Arsenal 4, Leverkusen 2.
03:34Saka does the classic Saka move.
03:36Just drags it to his left, onto his right foot.
03:39Defender has a bit of a nightmare.
03:42Gets the block in.
03:43But it's a really dangerous ball across the box.
03:45And it just goes straight to Havertz.
03:47Who's there to pounce in that centre-forward position.
03:50The poacher's position.
03:51And the goalkeeper's position.
03:52And the goalkeeper's position.
03:53And the goalkeeper's position.
03:54And the goalkeeper's position.
03:55And the goalkeeper's position.
03:56And the goalkeeper's position.
03:57And the goalkeeper's position.
03:58And the goalkeeper's position.
03:59And the goalkeeper's position.
04:00And the goalkeeper's position.
04:01And the centre-forward position.
04:02The poacher's position.
04:10Teller looking to use his pace here.
04:11That's a clever ball as well.
04:12Big chance to get one back for Leverkusen.
04:14And it's been taken by Adam Pojek.
04:18Cleverly done.
04:20And a really good move down the right-hand side.
04:22Teller involved.
04:23Pojek, the Czech Republic international.
04:27With a clever finish.
04:29David Raya beaten.
04:30Leverkusen managed to pull one back.
04:35There's a classic goal in an end-to-end sort of style game.
04:39Cuts over there with a little nutmeg, I think, on Cossard as he came over.
04:42Opened up the space in the midfield.
04:44Lewis Skilly gets drawn out slightly towards the ball.
04:47Leaves a space in behind him.
04:49You know, and like I said, there's been changes.
04:51So you haven't got that fluency in the cover across the centre-back positions.
04:56But disappointing for the side.
