Smith-Rowe back in training as Arsenal prepare for PSV in UCL

PSV Eindhoven and Arsenal both advanced to the knockout rounds of the Champions League after playing out a 1-1 draw at the Philips Stadion. The two teams had already qualified before kick off in the final Group B match but their encounter was an enjoyable and entertaining affair.

Mikel Arteta made eight changes to the starting line-up which meant the Gunners were disjointed through the opening stages but they created a couple of good chances with Eddie Nketiah opening the scoring. He collected a pass from Reiss Nelson before touching the ball into the box and slotting it into the far corner.

After the break PSV responded with a simple pass up the pitch. Ricardo Pepi nipped in between William Saliba and Gabriel to receive the ball before setting up Yorbe Vertessen to guide in the equaliser. A lack on intensity from both teams meant the match meandered to its conclusion and the points were shared.
