Arsenal continues to dominate in every competition they play in. Wednesday, Club Brugge was their latest target.
The Gunners cruised to a commanding 3-0 victory in Belgium, maintaining their perfect tackle rate and clinical edge in front of goal. Arsenal’s superior efficiency made the difference—converting 11 shots on target into three goals while controlling proceedings from start to finish.
## Key Performers
Arsenal’s attack was relentless, outshooting Brugge 20-18 overall while putting 11 efforts on frame compared to just seven from the hosts. The Gunners’ 60% shot accuracy dwarfed Brugge’s 40%, showcasing their quality in the final third.
Defensively, Arsenal were impeccable when it mattered. They completed 11-of-11 tackles (100% success rate) compared to Brugge’s 11-of-15 (73%), and doubled their opponents in interceptions, 8-4. The back line’s composure was evident in their passing—Arsenal completed 88% of their passes with superior long-ball accuracy (74% vs. 52%).
Brugge goalkeeper Dani van den Heuval kept the scoreline respectable with seven saves, matching Arsenal keeper David Raya’s total, but couldn’t prevent the inevitable.
## The Turning Point
While the match events data shows Arsenal controlled possession (50.7%) and generated more dangerous opportunities, Brugge’s five blocked shots highlight how often they were forced into desperate defending. Arsenal’s five corner kicks to Brugge’s one tells the territorial story—the visitors camped in the attacking third and Brugge could rarely escape the pressure.
The hosts managed just one offside compared to Arsenal’s zero, indicating the Gunners’ discipline and superior timing in attack, never allowing Brugge’s defense to catch them napping.
## What’s Next
Arsenal will look to carry this momentum into their next fixture, while Club Brugge must regroup and find answers for a defense that conceded seven shots on target at home. The Gunners’ ability to dominate across all competitions continues unabated.
