ANGELS GABRIEL ANSWER PRAYERS

Magalhaes and Martinelli supreme before Gyokeres' double steals show

- BY JOHN CROSS

SOMETHING special happens whenever Madrid pay a visit to the Emirates.

Six months ago, Arsenal battered mighty Real Madrid 3-0 on the way to reaching the Champions League semi final.

And this time, they smashed four past Atletico Madrid on another sensational European night.

At the heart of the victory was Viktor Gyokeres, who ended his barren run with two goals in three minutes.

So much for Atletico being tight at the back, tough to break down and formidable opponents.

Arsenal just put them away with another brilliant all action performance which will surely mark them down as genuine Champions League contenders.

Mikel Arteta's men just look unstoppable. They sit top of the Premier League and have made it three straight wins in Europe.

This was supposedly their toughest test to date after making light work of Athletic Bilbao and Olympiacos. They actually embarrassed Atletico with a goal rush in the second half.
