Mikel Arteta's nine match unbeaten run in all competitions came grinding to a halt in Eindhoven last Thursday, as PSV put Arsenal's top spot hopes under threat with a convincing 2-0 win in the Europa League.
Although second-half goals from Joey Veerman and Luke de Jong sealed the victory, it was PSV's star duo Cody Gakpo and Xavi Simons who lit up the Philips Stadium with dazzling dribbling, penetrative running and smart link-up play against the uncharacteristically poor Gunners.
Demonstrating an almost telepathic understanding at times, the two Dutch stars gave a masterclass in how to rip apart a defence relentlessly, namely one which had conceded only 11 goals in 15 appearances heading into the Europa League clash.
