Granit Xhaka scored the winner as Arsenal edged closer to the last 16 of the Europa League with a narrow win over PSV Eindhoven at Emirates Stadium.

The result leaves Mikel Arteta's side five points clear at the top of Group A after they maintained their 100% record.

It was also the Gunners' eighth successive victory in all competitions and they more than merited it in the rearranged contest that was originally scheduled to be played on 15 September but was postponed because of "severe limitations on police resources" following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka had the pick of Arsenal's opportunities but some errant finishing and the performance of PSV's Argentine goalkeeper Walter Benitez made for a nervy evening.

However, Swiss international Xhaka drove a low effort into the bottom left corner from Takehiro Tomiyasu's cross to finally break the visitor's resistance.

Arsenal will confirm their progression to the knockout stage as group winners if they claim at least a point in the reverse fixture in the Netherlands next week.

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking to BT Sport, says: "We had really good moments where we dominated against a really good side. We lacked that final pass or shot but we're happy to win the game and we are qualified which is the first step.

"The difference between finishing first and second is big and we want to get the job done [next week].

"In Europe you have to control the opponent. They are very talented, used to winning and the amount of goals they have scored is incredible - we were really mature."

On Granit Xhaka's goal: "It was a great goal with the right foot, a half volley, he is getting in these positions every game that's why he is scoring the goals."

On Bukayo Saka, who needed treatment but then came back on: "I think he will be OK."

Some more from ex-Arsenal defender Martin Keown on BT Sport, talking about Granit Xhaka.

Keown says: "With the role he has, it has given him a lot of licence to move forwards. The quality of the finish was outstanding, the technique was really good and he is going to enjoy that for sometime.

"It was his right foot, his swinger, never scored with Arsenal with his right foot.

"We know he has had a difficult time at the club but that's in the past and he's doing well, but he is really important in the side for Arsenal's success.

"If they are successful and win a trophy, he will get another contract."

Arsenal

Match-winner Granit Xhaka, speaking to BT Sport, says: "We had chance after chance and we didn't have the luck to score earlier but we had the passion to keep the ball, keep creating the chances and I think we deserved the win.

"In the first half we did a lot of pressure, Everyone who comes here is playing similar to PSV, we knew they had the quality to kill us on the counter attack but we did amazing.

"I'm so happy to score. I don't know when I scored for the last time with the right foot but so happy. It doesn't matter which foot, or who scores.

"It gives us confidence and on to the next one. When you win games you have to be happy. Everything is going well at the moment but for us it is not a surprise, we're doing a lot of work.

"We win and lose as a team and at the moment we are very dangerous. We wanted to go through and are very happy."

Arsenal have won their last four games in the Europa League, their last longer winning streak was from 22 October, 2020 to 10 December, 2020, a run of six games.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown, speaking on BT Sport, says: "Granit Xhaka is now becoming an Arsenal fan favourite and who could've imagined that?

"Mikel Arteta gets the job done and it's really important to make sure they are in charge of this group.

"PSV were so geared up to stop Arsenal they ran out of steam. Saka, every time I watch him play he just gets better. His upper-body strength is getting better and the way he runs past players is first class."

And that's it.

Granit Xhaka's lovely 15-yard half volley gives the hosts the victory and it is one that takes them into the knockout stages of the Europa League.

It doesn't confirm them winning the group just yet, but they will definitely finish in the top two of Group A.

Arsenal only need to avoid defeat in the rematch in the Netherlands next week to jump straight into the last 16 and avoid a two-legged play-off against a side dropping down from the Champions League.

"We are top of the league," sing the home fans. Top of the Premier League, top of their Europa League group.

Mikel Arteta bringing the glory years back to Arsenal?

Ruud van Nistelrooy still believes there's something there for his PSV team, standing on the edge of the technical area barking out the orders.

Into injury time. Four minutes for PSV Eindhoven to deny Arsenal the win.

Kieran Tierney takes one for the team, with a cynical trip on the advancing Cody Gakpo. Booked.

Mwamburi: I really like Lokonga. But he is still two loans away from being it. He simply can't replicate the tempo Partey brings to the centre.

Mikel Arteta doesn't see the need to risk Bukayo Saka any more and he walks off with Reiss Nelson getting the last few minutes to show us his immense talent.

Good news, Bukayo Saka is moving freely and is OK after that earlier injury scare.

He runs at the away defence but is the next to force a good save from goalkeeper Walter Benitez.

Five to go. Arsenal haven't wrapped up the points just yet.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has his head in his hands on the PSV bench and they should have done better but Ibrahim Sangare squares it and overhits the pass when Luuk de Jong was waiting to convert.

Arsenal are looking to wrap this one up. Gabriel Martinelli touches and shifts the ball on to his left foot and it's a clean strike at goal, but Walter Benitez gets two hands to it to parry it away. Good stop.

The Arsenal substitutes nearly link up straight away. Gabriel Martinelli crosses from the left and Ben White goes for a volley, but misses the ball completely.

Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu, both excellent tonight, have been taken off with Gabriel Martinelli and Ben White coming on.

Bukayo Saka is back out there, trying to run off that knock he just picked up, so hopefully nothing serious.

Oh no.

Bukayo Saka, after a brilliant run and shot, looks in pain and may have just pulled something.

Nervous moments for Arsenal and England fans with the World Cup a month away.
