Arsenal's opening goal came from Gabriel Martinelli in the 28th minute, after the ball bounced up the post from Viktor Gyokeres' shot. The Brazilian striker easily taped the ball into the net to put Arsenal ahead. In the last minute of injury time, Bukayo Saka sealed the 2-0 victory with a shot through goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.
This result helped Arsenal increase their winning streak in the Champions League group stage to 6 in the last 2 seasons.
The match was not easy for Arsenal when Olympiakos entered the match determined. The visitors created a number of dangerous opportunities, most notably Daniel Podence's volley that forced goalkeeper David Raya to show his talent. Olympiakos even had a shot into the net in the 55th minute, but Chiquinho's goal was disallowed for offside before.
Statistics show that Arsenal are maintaining an extremely impressive home record. They have won all 8 consecutive matches in the Champions League group stage at Emirates Stadium without conceding any goals. If we count the whole Europa League in the early stages of coach Mikel Arteta's tenure, this number will increase to 14 consecutive wins, conceding only 2 goals.
The last time Arsenal failed to win the European Cup group stage at home was in November 2019, in a defeat to Frankfurt in the Europa League - a match that led to the sacking of manager Unai Emery. That was also a turning point for Arteta to take charge and build a team with the same courage as it is now.
Despite rotating their squad with 6 changes compared to the win over Newcastle in the Premier League, Arsenal still showed their depth of force. Martin Odegaard continues to be the conductor, creating many dangerous opportunities, while young players like Myles Lewis-Skelly also leave their mark.
This victory helped Arsenal maintain their leading position in the group with an all-win record. They are also one of six teams to have won all of their Champions League this season.
