THE scoreline tells its own story.
What an incredible result for Arsenal and exactly the performance Mikel Arteta demanded from his players.
They were ruthless, clinical and brilliant with a much-needed away win in the Champions League after a 1-0 defeat against Inter Milan in their last outing.
Their season finally looks as if it is gaining real momentum.
Remarkably, it was Arsenal's first away win in Europe for 13 months, the first goals they have scored on the road in this competition in five games, and the first time Sporting have lost all season.
You could point to the fact the Ruben Amorim magic has already worn off after the ex-Sporting coach's departure for Manchester United.
But this was much more about Arsenal and their style.
