Arsenal had a convincing 3-0 home win against Monaco to move onto 13 points and into third place in the Champions League table.
Take a look at the highlights and what the pundits had to say.
Bukayo Saka stole the headlines with another two goals, but the pundits picked out youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly and "class-act" Mikel Merino as two standout players from the game.
Arsenal's victory over Monaco has moved them up to third in the Champions League table.
One more point from their final two games would ensure the Gunners are safe from elimination.
Mikel Arteta's side will face Dinamo Zagreb (24th) at home and Girona (30th) away in January to round off the league phase.
Bukayo Saka continued his fine 2024-25 form with a performance manager Mikel Arteta described as "exceptional" against Monaco.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live after the Gunners' 3-0 win at home to Monaco, Cahill said: "The manager obviously has a lot of faith in him [Myles Lewis-Skelly] to start him in a game like that with Kieran Tierney on the bench.
"He had other options and he chose to go with the young boy. It looks like he has a very bright future at 18-years-old.
"It's interesting to hear Bukayo Saka speak about him like he is 35 [himself] when he is only 23 still.
"He impresses me so much, Saka. The way he carries himself. The way he performs. Everything he does at 23-years-old is unreal.
"But, like Saka has said [about Lewis-Skelly], as long as he keeps is feet on the ground and keeps learning then he has a really bright future."
Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to TNT Sports: "Very happy. Obviously scoring the three goals, keeping a clean sheet and winning the game.
"We started the game very well, in the first half we should have put the game to bed but we didn't. In the Champions League you will have difficult moments and we suffered but then with the second goal and the game was in control."
On scoring three goals from open play: "Very good, especially because they were very different goals. That's what we want, from every phase of play to be a threat. We could have scored many goals from open play but, anyway, very happy."
On Myles Lewis-Skelly: "A word for Myles - 18-years-old and to make his debut in the Champions League is a great highlight of the game.
"What I like about him is his courage, the position he takes, how he penetrates with the ball. He's one of our own, he has a bright future ahead of him. As a club and a manager, we have to be happy with him coming through. It is a great feeling to be able to change someone's life."
On his substitutions: "We had some issues. They put six players inside with only the full-backs giving the width. They had a lot of rotation which was difficult to manage that. I think the subs helped us, they gave us energy and helped with the structure. Everybody is important, every three days it's impossible to keep the same players."
On Bukayo Saka: "He looks really mature. What he has already done in the game at his age is incredible. Very humble, a great guy to have around and an incredible talent.
"He's a special person. In his role, his leadership is increasing. With the young kids he is amazing, with the seniors he is amazing. He is loved by everybody and he makes the difference on the pitch."
Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal double scorer Bukayo Saka, speaking to TNT Sports on teenage defender Myles Lewis-Skelly: "I just said to him 'this is his level', he needs to have no doubts, play the game and have the confidence.
"We see what he's doing in training. We are pleased for him and he played a key part in the first goal.
"He just needs to keep going. I'm just so proud of him."
On nearly completing his first Arsenal hat-trick: "Kai [Havertz] just got in the way of it but it's coming, don't worry."
Gunners defender Lewis-Skelly on his involvement in the first goal: "I saw the ball getting switched from Martin [Odegaard]. I was getting pressed and I just thought 'keep calm' and take the ball away from the man. I saw Gabi [Jesus] pulling off and played him through and then great finish from Bukayo. He's always there."
On his first Champions League start: "I'm proud of myself. I believe in myself but I've come a long way. I want to thank everyone for this opportunity. Hopefully this is the first of many."
On taking inspiration from Saka: "Looking up to Bukayo, he has that mindset, he has everything. I've learned a lot from him and I want to keep learning."
Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal are unbeaten in their past 14 home games in all competitions (W12 D2) - their best run under Mikel Arteta and best since an 18-game run under Arsene Wenger between March and November 2017.
While only Mohamed Salah (16 goals, 12 assists) has been involved in more goals in all competitions among Premier League players this season than Bukayo Saka (nine goals, 12 assists).

Image source, Getty ImagesDan Ashworth's availability could be an interesting twist as Arsenal continue their search for a new sporting director.
Ashworth left his role as Manchester United's sporting director after only five months on Monday, following United's 3-2 loss at home to Nottingham Forest.
The Gunners are currently in the process of filling the same role at their club after the departure of sporting director Edu.
The Arsenal board are looking for a successor with input from manager Mikel Arteta.
Richard Garlick, the Arsenal managing director, worked with Ashworth while both were at West Bromwich Albion and would know how the 53-year-old works and if he would be a good fit for the club.
Arsenal's search is ongoing and assistant sporting director Jason Ayto has stepped up to fill the role left by Edu until the process is complete.
BBC Sport, with the help of data from website Premier Injuries, external, has taken a look at which side has suffered most from injuries this season.
Fabian Hurzeler has had a tough start in English football from an injury perspective - although his side sitting seventh in the Premier League table suggests he is more than capable of coping with it.
West Ham fans may be even more frustrated about their season when they learn that they have had the least amount of injury setbacks in the top flight.
Comparing the injury situation now with the same stage last season, the overall numbers are actually down, according to Ben Dinnery of Premier Injuries Ltd.
"Year on year, there has been about a 20% reduction in the number of injury incidents and about a 30% reduction in the 'burden' on clubs - the amount of days missed by injured players," he said.
His data is calculated from the opening day of the season, so players who were already injured going into the campaign - such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries to Brentford's Rico Henry, Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings and Brighton's Solly March - do not count.
"Perhaps the narrative [of an increase in injuries] is driven by some high-profile managers and the prominence of major injuries to higher-status players, such as Manchester City's Rodri," Dinnery added.
"The injury narrative is not being pushed by Kieran McKenna at Ipswich or Brighton's Fabian Hurzeler.
"They are not using their sidelined players as excuses, even though Ipswich have lost some huge players as they try to adapt to the intensity and rigours of Premier League football.
"Brighton didn't have a great record last year, but had European football to contend with. The headline numbers are one thing, but football is a contact sport. Perhaps it is testament to their recruitment of a squad with strength and depth that they are still doing well despite the number of injuries."
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked you to tell us one thing that nobody is talking about at Arsenal.
Here are some of your comments:
Hugo: Gabriel Jesus. If, as Mikel Arteta has previously mentioned, he's fit and hungry, why is he not getting more minutes and most importantly, not scoring? You couldn't wish for more of an open play goalscorer in your artillery.
Aaron: Max Dowman is looking like the next big thing coming out of Hale End.
David: Our midfield tempo is too slow, with too many touches, too much retention and not enough zip. I'd like to see Martin Odegaard and Nwaneri start with Declan Rice behind. Rice isn't a goal scorer - Nwaneri clearly is.
Alexi: No-one is talking about how we do not have depth in the left wing position. Gabriel Martinelli has fallen off and Leandro Trossard is only ever good off the bench. I think we should buy a new left-winger.
Jude: Mikel Arteta is a superb manager, maybe even the best of his generation. However, his refusal to give other players a start (Nwaneri, Kieran Tierney and Raheem Sterling and Myles Lewis-Skelly) is hindering us. They are not getting the chance to make a difference, which is costing us.

Image source, Getty ImagesA while back, an irate fan of a club I used to favour angrily turned to me as I sat behind him doing my BBC Radio 5 Live commentary. "Nevin, You're just here for the money."
He smugly awaited my answer but was disappointed. "Yes, I am," I calmly countered. "I'm working and when you work you get paid for doing it - it's kind of how our society works."
Silence ensued and a similar thing happened last week when someone quizzed Mikel Arteta about the Gunners' new style. The questioner compared current Arsenal with Tony Pulis' Stoke City and their shared reliance on set-piece power plays, specifically corner-kicks hoofed into the mixer.
This could be considered blasphemy to the memory of Arsene Wenger's teams and even Arteta's Spanish tiki-taka background.
Mikel was unmoved and unoffended. It is winning, not how you win, that seems critical to him. He picked up yet another point using precisely the same technique at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
There is a little suspicion creeping in, however, that they are becoming too dependent on this one tactic. They now appear sometimes to play to win corner kicks.
Even if their set-pieces are a danger when delivered well, there is a problem of being over-reliant on one trick.
That seems to have backfired spectacularly on their neighbours Tottenham.

Image source, Getty ImagesMonaco manager Adi Hutter says his side are prepared to combat Arsenal's "real weapon", their prowess from set-pieces, when they travel to Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
Against Fulham at the weekend the Gunners scored their 23rd goal from a corner kick since the start of last season - far more than any other side in Europe's biggest leagues.
Before Monaco meet Arsenal, Hutter said his side had done more preparation than normal to combat their opponent's key strength.
"Our preparation for this match was more advanced than for a classic Ligue 1 match, that's for sure," he said. "They are very strong on set-pieces - it's a real weapon for them. That's obvious.
"They train a lot for that, but we have an idea of how we should defend in these phases. We can also be a threat to them in this area, because that's also something that's an area of strength for us."
After five games, Arsenal and Monaco occupy the final two automatic qualification places for the round of 16, level on 10 points.
Results on Tuesday pushed the two sides below the line and they enter the match at 10th and 11th respectively.
With qualification still very achievable for Monaco, Hutter insisted his side will be aiming to cause problems of their own.
"It will be a very big game for us, but we are here in London to show our style of play, our brand of committed football," he said. "We do not only want to be a good opponent, but to try to bring something back from here."

Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal captain Martin Odegaard says the team "want to win everything" as they seek a second trophy under Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners hit the ground running under the Spaniard when they won the FA Cup in his first season in charge in 2020.
However, despite challenging for the Premier League title in the past two seasons and returning to the Champions League last campaign, they have yet to add to the silverware in his five years in charge.
They are currently fighting on four fronts this season and have the opportunity to improve their position in Europe when they take on Monaco on Wednesday.
"If you do that [win a trophy] then everyone will remember you because you write history and I think that's the feeling from everyone in the squad and the team. We want to do something really special," Odegaard told a pre-match news conference.
"We want to win everything basically - that's the mindset of everyone. We want to win trophies, we want to win every time we play and we all share that mindset. We want to win and make sure the trophies come to the club."
One player who they will be hoping can help them achieve that in the years to come will be young midfielder Ethan Nwaneri.
The 17-year-old has already scored four goals in his 12 appearances so far this season and Odegaard has been trying to use his own experience to guide the academy graduate.
"I've been trying to help him in many different ways. For a young player, sometimes it's just to help him be himself and feel natural," the Norway international said.
"Everyone can see the quality he has and for him it's just about showing that, enjoying it and keep improving all the time.
"He is doing amazing. For his age to play the way he plays with such confidence and such eagerness and always show his qualities - I'm really happy for him and proud of him for what he is doing."

Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal left-back Kieran Tierney could be in line to make his first appearance for the club in over a year.
Mikel Arteta's side have been hit with an injury crisis and Jurrien Timber, Riccardo Calafiori, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Magalhaes and Thomas Partey were not seen in the open part of Arsenal's training session before the Champions League game against Monaco on Wednesday.
That could mean that Tierney, who has not played for Arsenal since August 2023 in the Community Shield against Manchester City, following injury issues and a loan to Real Sociedad could be called upon.
"He is training really well. He's going to have opportunity, for sure, with the way the team is looking," Arteta said.
"He is going to do that for a reason as well because he has earned it. The way he has behaved - he has been with us, he is willing to do it."

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Champions League game against Monaco (kick-off 20:00).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Arteta confirmed they will have to make late calls on the availability of players as "some of them will not be fit and available".
He said the injury situation "is what it is" and added: "We have to accept reality and move forwards."
On why these injury issues keep happening: "It is a knock-on. We have lots of joint injuries which are very difficult to predict ourselves. We have some through tackles which are difficult to avoid. Then other ones from overload and knock-on affect of having one or two players not available means you put more strain and minutes on someone else. That is not a good change."
The Arsenal boss said he is "really pleased" with the way they are playing.
On what they have learned from their Champions League experiences this season and last: "We have to do a lot of things we do in the Premier League. The tendency is to look at the Champions League like it is something else. We face incredibly difficult opposition every week. That is the good thing. When we come up against a team like Monaco, who have done incredibly well, we are so used to it because we play every three days against this kind of opponent."
Arteta confirmed that left-back Kiernan Tierney "is ready" to come into the team: "He is training really well. He's going to have opportunity for sure with the way the team is looking. He is going to do that for a reason as well because he has earned it. The way he has behaved, has been with us, he is willing to do it."
He said Gabriel Jesus' "attitude is really good - it always is" despite the forward only scoring once in 31 games. When asked about reports the Brazil international could leave in January, Arteta responded: "No, nonsense".
On whether he is worried they are not creating enough away from set-pieces: "We always want to create more from every angle. Set-pieces are a consequence of what we do. That phase [open play] is a part of that. Open play and set-pieces are all together."
