The penalty of Noah Langa threatened to cause the return of PSV, but only briefly, because Arsenal shot from the blocks in the second half to throw a tie far beyond his Dutch opponents.
The goals of Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard put a tie away outside the host within three minutes of re -launch, before the Arsenal captain inserted a second and set Riccard Calafiori to put seven for the ruthless side of Mikel Artete.
Although there was a lack of competitiveness, it was a game full of incidents, and the most controversial point of conversation was followed by the third goal of Arsenal at night, which was subject to a long -term VAR check.
In the midst of a comic defense of PSV, Mikel Merino was a donated opportunity to stretch Arsenal’s lead after the ball broke with him in the penalty area, taking it with ease.
But the goal was in doubt about four minutes, as VAR officials checked the possible offze against the Spaniard in the upgrade.
He played the ball in Merin’s direction by Jurrien Timber, but was blocked by PSV defender Ryan Flamingo before he could reach Arsenal’s improvised striker, who was in an offside position when the ball played.
Nevertheless, the game continued, and Flamingo donated Merino a free goal in the goal after losing the base in the box.
But the decision to allow the goal has been caused by a certain controversy, and experts Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott do not agree with the decision.
Former Premier League judge Mark Clattenburg tried to explain why the goal was awarded, which arrived with a subjective call from the VAR team.
Talking about live coverage Amazon Prime Video, he said: “It’s a very subjective call. When the ball actually played, we all know Merino in an offside position. Does the defender deliberately play the ball or block the ball?
“I agree with Wayne to block the ball, and therefore, if it blocks the ball, it is not controlled, and therefore it should give it as an offset.
“[The VAR] He believes he intentionally played the ball with that skating action to block the ball. He believes it is a deliberate game, which is why they gave the goal, but I disagree with that. “
Arsenal welcomed PSV at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, March 12th, and in the quarterfinals waited either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.
The owners of the Champions League will take the levery to the Metropolitano Stadium, and the winner of Brahim Diaz presented the victory of Carl Ancelotti to win 2-1 in Santiago Bernabeu.
