Diego Simeone hailed Arsenal as the ‘best team’ Atletico Madrid have faced this season after his side were beaten 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the Champions League.

The European clash was goalless at half-time but Arsenal scored four goals in 13 second-half minutes to pull well clear of La Liga side Atletico.

Gabriel Magalhaes broke the deadlock on the hour mark, heading home Declan Rice’s inviting cross as Arsenal’s dominance from set-pieces once again proved crucial.

Fellow Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli doubled the hosts’ lead less than ten minutes later following a superb run from England’s Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Already in control of the game, two goals from Viktor Gyokeres capped off a brilliant night for the Gunners, who are joint-top of the Champions League after three matches.
