The Guardian reported that Arsenal earned a narrow Champions League win at Napoli, with Martin Ødegaard scoring the decisive goal 15 minutes from full time. The paper said the visitors were delayed by travel disruption before the match but still deserved the three points.
Mikel Arteta’s side were not at their fluent best and missed several chances, but they controlled long spells and limited Napoli’s threat. The report said Arsenal had to wait for Ødegaard’s late intervention after a match in which the substitute Noni Madueke also went close to adding a second.
The result continued Arsenal’s strong European run after last season’s league-phase form, while Napoli’s Champions League struggles underlined the gap between the sides on the night.
