Champions League: Arsenal demolish Basel 4-1 to go top

Arsene Wenger

Arsenal finished top of Champions League Group A, thanks to a Lucas Perez hat-trick and Paris St-Germain’s draw with Ludogorets Razgrad.

Needing to beat Basel and hope PSG dropped points at home, the Gunners took control through two Perez tap-ins.

Perez drove in his third from the edge of the box and Alex Iwobi rolled in a fourth before Seydou Doumbia cut through for a Basel consolation.

A 2-2 draw in Paris left Arsenal top for the first time since 2011-12.
