Bukayo Saka scored twice as Arsenal beat Monaco to strengthen their position as one of the sides likely to progress to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The Gunners were well on top in the first half, but missed a number of chances to make the outcome even more comfortable.
Arsenal took the lead in the 34th minute after Myles Lewis–Skelly played in Gabriel Jesus and the Brazilian crossed for Saka to tap in.
Substitute Kai Havertz then forced a mistake from keeper Radoslaw Majecki in the 74th minute and Saka steered in from close range.
The England forward then set up the third with two minutes left as Havertz turned in his cross.
Elsewhere, Manchester City’s current malaise continued on Wednesday as they were beaten 2-0 by Juventus to deal a big blow to their hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stage.
Dusan Vlahovic’s header and Weston McKennie’s volley in the second half secured all three points for the home side, boosting their own hopes of progressing automatically to the next stage as one of the top eight sides in the league phase of the competition.
But the defeat meant Manchester City have won just one of their last 10 games in all competitions, with this their seventh loss during that run.
It leaves them 22nd in the Champions League table with just two games remaining – away to Paris St-Germain on 22 January and at home to Club Brugge a week later.
In Madrid, a stunning strike from Julian Alvarez and an Antoine Griezmann double helped Atletico Madrid to a comfortable 3-1 win over Slovan Bratislava.
Former Manchester City striker Alvarez opened the scoring for Diego Simeone’s side in the 16th minute with a sumptuous curling effort from the left side of the box for his fourth Champions League goal of the season.
Griezmann scored the first of his two goals three minutes before half-time after some tenacious work from Alvarez allowed Marcos Llorente to loft a ball into the box for the Frenchman to nod home.
The visitors were given a lifeline six minutes after the restart as Clement Lenglet clumsily brought down David Strelec and the striker sent Jan Oblak the wrong way from the resulting penalty.
