Arsenal made it two wins out of two in the Champions League as Bukayo Saka’s stoppage-time goal sealed a 2-0 victory over Olympiakos at the Emirates Stadium.
Match Report
Saka, on as a second-half substitute, fired through the legs of Olympiakos goalkeeper Kostas Tzolakis from Martin Odegaard's pass after Gabriel Martinelli had tapped in an early opener when a Viktor Gyokeres shot bounced back off the post.
The Gunners looked on course for a comfortable victory at the time of the first goal but were made to work for the victory by Olympiakos, who threatened an equaliser in a nervy second half before Saka's goal.
David Raya was called into action on several occasions in the second period and also pulled off a stunning one-handed save to deny Daniel Podence before the break.
Arsenal also spurned chances, with Gyokeres and Leandro Trossard culpable and the otherwise excellent Odegaard also denied by a Tzolakis save and a heroic Panagiotis Retsos block before Saka finally struck the killer goal.
