PSV vs Arsenal the outcome was ended in a point for both sides.

Nketiah scored the opening goal in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with PSV as both teams secured qualification for the next round of the Champions League.

Eddie Nketiah put Mikel Arteta‘s heavily altered team in front tonight, against the flow of the game towards the end of the first half.

However, shortly after the break, Yorbe Vertessen‘s impressive goal leveled the score.

PSV were much the better side throughout, especially in the first half, where they had one or two excellent chances to take the lead.

Arteta used the game to rest some of his key players with huge matches to come against Brighton & Hove Albion and Liverpool,

but few of the fringe players who came in are unlikely to have persuaded the manager for regular starting time following the performance this evening.

Both sides had nothing but pride to play for in this one, so it was unsurprising to see PSV make five changes, and Arsenal make eight, with both battling at the top of their domestic divisions.

It was PSV’s makeshift squad which looked more in tandem, though, as they dominated for larger periods of the first half.

The first chance of the game was arguably the best of the half, as Ricardo Pepi was denied brilliantly by a last-ditch Gabriel Magalhaes block after Johan Bakayoko‘s through ball saw Patrick van Aanholt clash with Aaron Ramsdale.

Armando Obispo failed to take advantage from the resulting corner, and that was the story of the first half, as PSV were often wasteful in the final third.

After a slip from Gabriel allowed PSV into the final third, they initially got the ball out wide to Jordan Teze, and his cross found Vertessen, who struck the outside of the post.

Bakayoko was menacing to the Arsenal defence all evening, and he gave the visitors a scare as his left-footed effort from range flashed just wide.

Arsenal had their first sighter on the half-hour mark thanks to Mohamed Elneny‘s optimistic strike which grazed the outside of the goalkeeper’s right-hand post, but PSV remained in the ascendancy.

After finding himself in a promising position – two versus two – Pepi exchanged passes with Ismael Saibari but overplayed it, as by the time the American got his shot away, Arsenal had bodies back.

Peter Bosz‘s side were eventually punished for their first-half profligacy, when Nketiah collected Reiss Nelson‘s pass and fired past Walter Benitez off the inside of the post with his weaker left foot to give Arsenal the lead shortly before the break.

PSV continued in the same vein though, and almost equalised in stoppage time, when Bakayoko once again caused havoc cutting inside and forced a save out of Ramsdale, who had to turn the ball aside.

Bosz evidently told his players to give more of the same in the second 45,

as they picked up where they left off after the interval with more high-octane attacking play, with Bakayoko setting up Vertessen, who dragged his shot wide early in the half.

However, the winger was not to fail just moments later, as Pepi found himself in acres of space and laid it off for Vertessen,

who opened up his body looking for the far corner, and despite striking the inside of the post, the ball rolled across the line and into the back of the net.

With the scores level, Arsenal made more inroads into the PSV penalty area, but both Nketiah and Nelson hit the side netting just five minutes apart.

Saibari’s runs from midfield continued to cause problems for Arsenal, even when Declan Rice was brought on in defence,

as the Moroccan beat the England international to the ball and caught Ramsdale out at his front post but was denied by the woodwork midway through the second half.

With 10 minutes remaining, Arsenal momentarily thought they won it when Jakub Kiwior headed past Benitez,

who was in no man’s land, but their celebrations were soon cut short by the linesman’s flag, with Gabriel ruled offside from the initial cross.

An error from the Brazilian defender once again allowed PSV in behind, and Guus Til pounced, running in behind, but the substitute dragged his effort wide as the clock ticked towards 90.

Leandro Trossard squandered a glorious late chance to win it for Arsenal, firing straight at Benitez, before the rebound was blazed over by Rice, but the game ended all square in Eindhoven.
