PSV vs Arsenal LIVE! Europa League
The Gunners need just one point in Eindhoven to cement top spot in Group A and confirm their place in the Europa League knockout stage, avoiding a two-legged tie with a Champions League abandonment in the process. These two teams faced off a week ago, with Arsenal claiming a 1-0 win at the Emirates.
PSV really have qualification in their hands but head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy will know that anything less than a win tonight will open the door for Bodo/Glimt to take their place in the Round of 16 at the start of 2023 Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is aware of their threat and is expected to appoint a strong formation in Holland to do the job.

Live updates
83min: Arsenal players are still slipping on this pitch. I don’t think we can blame him too much, but we can’t say he didn’t play a role.
78min: A remarkable last-minute tackle from Branthwaite denied what looked like a certain goal for Arsenal.
Simon Collings in Eindhoven
“Arsenal are so ragged here, getting opened up at will. Ramsdale make another good save and throw their hands up at the defense in frustration.”
TO REGISTER!
72min: A dazzling, mind-blowing save from Ramsdale to drive De Jong’s header home from close range.
Signal another offside flag, but still.
WITHOUT ANY GOAL!
69min: PSV have the ball in the back of the net for a FIFTH time, but for the third time the offside flag stops any celebration.
Gakpo again denied.
66min: Jesus to Hold. Arteta does everything possible.
OBJECTIVE!
64min: De Jong is off the bench and on the scoresheet.
Ramsdale comes in for the corner, doesn’t go near the ball and De Jong nods home.
Howler.
57min: Arteta immediately brings Partey and Saka. Lokonga and Odegaard make way.
OBJECTIVE!
56min: What a finish from Veerman! A rocket past Ramsdale to give the hosts the lead.
Arsenal defense everywhere.
49min: A quick start to the second half sees Martinelli close with a curling effort from the edge of the frontcourt, at the other end Simons is denied by a fine save from Ramsdale.
Auspicious.
