"On 36 minutes, Trossard found Eze just ahead of the Leverkusen box. The midfielder took one touch to control, swivelled instantly and volleyed a searing effort high into the top-left corner past a helpless Blaswich."
"Arsenal put the tie beyond doubt on 63 minutes. Leverkusen failed to clear their lines from a corner, the ball dropping to Rice on the edge of the box. The England midfielder took one touch and finessed a composed, fading finish into the bottom-right corner, his third Champions League goal from distance this season."
"Leverkusen offered brief spells of encouragement in the second half, Kofane causing problems on the counter and Maza testing Arsenal's defensive shape, but they never genuinely threatened David Raya's goal."
Arsenal progressed to the Champions League quarter-finals with a dominant performance against Bayer Leverkusen at the Emirates. After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Arsenal controlled the second leg with superior intent and purpose. Eberechi Eze opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a stunning volley from Trossard's pass, placing the ball into the top corner. Declan Rice sealed the tie on 63 minutes with a composed finish from the edge of the box after Leverkusen failed to clear a corner. Despite Kai Havertz having a goal disallowed for handball and a shove, Arsenal's defense remained solid throughout, with David Raya making crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet.
