Europa League: “In his rush to avoid two more Europa League assignments, Mikel Arteta may now have to bring out the big guns for one more,” writes Philips Stadion’s Nick Ames. Disturbing news: There are – as yet unconfirmed – reports that Pablo Mari, who is on loan at Seria A Monza from Arsenal, is one of several victims of a spate of stabbings in a Milan shopping centre. Fabrizio Romano, occasionally of this parish, says that the Spanish centre-back is being treated for his injuries in hospital.

Gakpo was hugely impressive tonight, but it’s teenager Xavi Simons who has impressed me the most.

Jordan Teze and Noni Madueke continue. 78 min: On loan at PSV from Everton, Jarrad Brantwaithe slides in a challenging save to prevent Arsenal from scoring again after PSV keeper Walter Bentiez made a superb save from Eddie Nketiah, who should have scored .

Simons lifts the ball for the still-insignificant De Jong at the far post, but the veteran striker’s steady header is brilliantly saved by Ramsdale, who atones for his earlier mistake. 68 min: De Jong is completely unmarked at the far post for a PSV foul on the left. The ball finds its way to him but he heads it across the face of goal and out. Arsenal are incredibly lucky to be just two goals behind. It’s a mess right now. Updated at 19.19 BST 66 mins: Cody Gakpo is ruled out for his second ‘goal’ of the night for offside after some more excellent link-up play between himself and the hugely impressive Xavi Simons.

Half time: PSV Eindhoven 0-0 Arsenal
Peep! It remains scoreless at half-time, but PSV were in the ascendancy. Cody Gakpo and Xavi Simons were outstanding for the hosts and both had terrific ‘goals’ ruled out for fractional offside. Simons’ strike in particular was outstanding – the 19-year-old with the short blonde dreadlocks received the ball in Arsenal’s packed penalty area and dribbled past three defenders before firing into the corner, only to see his effort ruled out for a foul. it had nothing to do with him. At the half-time whistle, even Rob Holding threw an arm of sympathy around the PSV striker’s shoulders.
