Story updated
The story in brief
29-second readTwelve wins in a row and counting.
On a night when Arsenal remembered Ken Friar – the club’s life president who was instrumental in their move from Highbury to the Emirates in 2006 – it was fitting that Mikel Arteta’s side should rack up yet another Champions League milestone at their home that has become a fortress.
Such has Arsenal’s dominance been here in recent seasons that when Bukayo Saka slotted home their third against a dogged Lille side, it was the 36th goal they have scored at the Emirates in the league or group stage since returning to Europe’s top table under Arteta three years ago.
