Havertz.
Through inside the penalty area.
This is Zinchenko with the effort.
Finds the corner brilliantly.
Stunning shot.
Arrowing in.
Bjorn Kovar.
Wonderful strike from the Ukraine star.
And inside the opening eight minutes here.
Arsenal lead Leverkusen by a goal to nil.
Stunning strike.
Yeah, it's a really swift move down the left.
Cutback comes in.
Just left there.
It's a lovely strike by Zinchenko.
I think the keeper probably could have done better, Dan.
It was a strike with the inside of his foot rather than...
Maybe it was a good full-on strike, looking at it from that angle.
Yeah, he picked it up lovely.
Great start for the Gunners.
Here is Oerdegaard.
And this is Havertz.
Tross up.
Will take a touch.
Oh, that is one...
That is real quality.
Real class.
Arsenal have a second here in double quick time.
And the German champions are being torn apart by the Gunners at Arsenal 2.
Leverkusen nil.
Yeah, still in shock from that first goal.
Arsenal just took complete control.
The move they just scored with reminds me of the little warm-up drills they were doing before the game, Dan.
Across the edge of the box.
Three little set passes.
But it all came from a mistake.
Arsenal winning the ball back.
This availability and what composure by Trossard at the end.
It's almost like the Harlem Globetrotters just playing around with it.
I don't want to get too carried away though, Dan.
Every single Arsenal player so comfortable on the ball in tight areas, in defensive positions.
Long for Jesus.
Sunu initially heads it forward.
But Jesus will get another go.
That was a little loose from Alex Garcia.
Tross up.
Fans want him to shoot.
He's going to oblige, I think.
It is Trossard.
Oh, it's a good save as well by Kovac.
Gets the cross well to his right-hand side.
Do not give this man an inch.
He will take a mile.
Jesus with the shot.
Oh, and he's got it in.
Gabriel Jesus, who's worked tirelessly in the opening 37 minutes here.
Dropping deep.
Drifting left and right.
Real industry and energy.
And finding some quality here.
With a precision strike to beat Matej Kovac to give Arsenal a third.
He finds himself just getting more and more space on the edge of the box.
And for me, Kovac's got to do a little bit better there.
And I thought he made a mean of the Trossard one.
Was a little bit laboured getting down.
But he goes far too far to the left of his goal as well.
Goals of golf.
Arsenal freeing him up.
I think Alonso will be a bit disappointed with his players at half-time.
Gunnar's coming forward again.
Saka.
First time to run at the Leverkusen backline.
Takes it to the byline.
Good reaction inside the six-yard box.
Saka and Havertz.
Combination that we saw so often last season.
Coming up drops once again here.
And that is a poacher's instinct from the German against his former club.
Gets the first goal of this second half.
And the fourth all told as the Gunners extend their advantage.
Arsenal 4, Leverkusen 0.
Yes, it's Moneri that starts this off again.
Lovely little drive straight in the back four.
He has it back and off.
Gives the ball to Saka who's in a space on the right.
Saka does the classic Saka move.
Just drags it to his left, onto his right foot.
Defender has a bit of a nightmare.
Gets the block in.
But it's a really dangerous ball across the box.
And it just goes straight to Havertz who's there.
To pounce in that centre-forward position.
The poacher's position.
They're looking to use his pace here.
That's a clever ball as well.
Big chance to get one back for Leverkusen.
And it's been taken by Adam Poczek.
Cleverly done.
And a really good move down the right-hand side.
Teller involved.
Poczek, the Czech Republic international.
With a clever finish.
David Raya beaten.
Leverkusen managed to pull one back.
Yes, I mean it's a classic goal in an end-to-end sort of style game.
Comes over there with a little nutmeg I think on Cossard as he came over.
Opened up the space in the midfield.
Lewis Kelly gets drawn out slightly towards the ball.
Leaves a space in behind him.
And like I said, there's been changes.
So you haven't got that fluency in the cover across the centre-back position.
It's been disappointing for the side.
