Sincerely, the Ukrainian refused to celebrate and instead apologize to traveling PSV fans, spending the season on loan at a club from Manchester City 2016/17.
Seven goals behind and playing for pride, although it even seemed a move, PSV came back shortly after. Completing the incision move forward, Perisic was able to dig the ball off his feet under his feet on the edge of the box to find the upper corner.

Arsenal’s place in the quarters has never been doubtful since the last whistle was blowing in Eindhoven last week. But after five years from the Champions League, in the last eight, it marks two consecutive appearances since returning to the highest table in Europe.
Last season’s journey ended in the quarterfinals with a defeat to Bayern from Munich, and this time it will be tiring once again, faced with Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid over two legs next month-the last 16 equalization is still not completed in Spain’s capital.
The rifles have not reached the semi -finals of the Champions League since 2009.
Martin Odegaard, William Saliba, Thomas Party, Ethan Nwaneri and Leandro Trossard started this one on the bench, and Arteta used a huge aggregate lead to rest and rotate several beginners.
For Raheem Sterling, it was a rare beginning. But with Arsenal’s depth deficiency, Mikel Merino continued his bizarre role ‘False Nine’, while Kieran Tierney lined up as a left forward.
Still, weapons don’t have much to rotate.
If Chelsea beat Chelsea on Sunday, their game in the Premier League leaders Liverpool, they will reduce the gap on 12 points with nine left to play – still an almost impossible mountain.
Raheem Sterling remained on the bench as an unused replacement on Sunday withdrawing with Manchester United. Artete rejected him as nothing particularly meaningfulBut the Snub statement seemed to be at the disposal of other attacking options to the manager.
The former winged player of England has fought for the impact of this season, as Chelsea has decided that the excess of London is demanding. His career is in a real danger of being thrown too early, but his effect here served as proof that he was not yet dead.
Sterling entered the game with three goals on behalf of his entire season, two of which were against Bolton Wanderer in League 1 in the early circle of Carabao Cup. But he laid both a Arsenal goal. Artea even left him for a full 90 minutes, although his search to become the first player to achieve four different English clubs in the Champions League remained unfulfilled.
A late yellow card means that Sterling was suspended on the first leg of the quarterfinals.
