PSV Eindhoven 2-0 Arsenal

ARSENAL must beat Zurich next week to guarantee top spot in Europa League Group A after a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of a vibrant PSV Eindhoven side.

On Thursday evening in the Netherlands, Ruud Van Nistlrooy’s side proved just too good for the visitors from North London, as second half goals from Joey Veerman and substitute Luuk De Jong eclipsed the Gunners, who looked weary and overrun at times.

It was De Jong’s introduction at half time that influenced proceedings to the extent that Mikel Arteta’s team were fortunate not to lose by more as chances went begging, not to mention PSV having three goals disallowed.
