Arsenal's Saka Scores Late Winner, Maintains Perfect CL Start

Arsenal secured a thrilling 2-0 victory over Olympiacos in their Champions League clash, with Bukayo Saka netting a dramatic stoppage-time winner. The Gunners' resilience was put to the test, but they held firm to maintain their perfect start in the group.

Arsenal's defensive solidity was on display once again at the Emirates Stadium. They've now kept clean sheets in 10 of their last 13 Champions League home games. Martin Odegaard, returning after injury, played a crucial role, while Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring, his third vital goal of the season.

Olympiacos, despite their impressive record at the Emirates, failed to score this time. Their away drought in the Champions League extended to 11 games. However, coach José Luis Mendilibar commended his team's performance, acknowledging they gave a good account of themselves.

Arsenal join five other teams with six points from their opening two Champions League games. Their defensive record at home continues to impress, while Martinelli's goal-scoring form is a welcome boost. Olympiacos, despite the loss, showed promise under Mendilibar's guidance.
