Arsenal find their mojo and blow Sporting Lisbon away
Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke to discuss Arsenal's 5-1 away win in Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.
Sporting hadn't lost at home for 18 months and Arsenal blew them away with five different goalscorers in a dazzling display.
The right hand side was dominant as Bukayo Saka scored and assisted and Gabriel scored his first Champions League goal to cap off a great defensive performance keeping Viktor Gyökeres quiet.
Plus, a look ahead to West Ham away on Saturday as Arsenal look to build on their momentum.

Back to winning ways as Odegaard shows his importance
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

The panel discuss the partnership between our captain and Bukayo Saka, with shades of Robert Pires and Thierry Henry.
Plus, another incredible cameo from Ethan Nwaneri, who scored his first Premier League goal just four minutes after coming off the bench.

Is this Arsenal squad as good as we think it is?
James McNicholas joins Ian Stone to reflect on where Arsenal are at as we enter the final international break of 2024.
We use the start of the break to assess how good the squad we have this season actually is.
Who’s underperformed? Who’s overperformed? Have we been unlucky with injuries or are there things we could have done in the summer to avoid some of the problems we’ve faced?
