Champions League: Arsenal 2-2 PSV Eindhoven (Arsenal win 9-3 on aggregate) 

Whatever Mikel Arteta claims, starting a Champions League last 16 tie with three left-backs in his line-up was definitely not part of the masterplan he presented to the Arsenal hierarchy to convince them he should be their new manager five years ago. Shame because it proved to be a masterstroke as one of his defensive trio, Oleksandr Zinchenko, snuffed out whatever little life there was left in this tie when he scored a stunning goal after only six minutes to put Arsenal 8-1 ahead on aggregate.
