Club Brugge 0-3 Arsenal: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Club Brugge 0-3 Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Arsenal secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Club Brugge. The visitors took the lead in the 25th minute when Noni Madueke scored, assisted by Martín Zubimendi, setting the tone for Arsenal’s dominance. They extended their advantage early in the second half with Madueke netting his second in the 47th minute, again assisted by Zubimendi, before Gabriel Martinelli added a third in the 56th minute with an assist from Myles Lewis-Skelly. This result aligns with Arsenal’s strong recent form, having won their last five matches, while Club Brugge’s struggles continued after a run of losses and a draw in their previous outings.

Substitutions came into play as the game progressed, with Arsenal making changes around the hour mark to manage the lead, including Gabriel Jesus replacing Viktor Gyökeres in the 62nd minute and Riccardo Calafiori coming on for Piero Hincapié in the 63rd. Club Brugge responded with double substitutions in the 67th and 74th minutes, but these failed to spark a comeback. Yellow cards for Arsenal’s Christian Nørgaard in the 65th minute and Ben White in the 68th did little to disrupt their control, reflecting Club Brugge’s ongoing poor form with four losses in their last five games.

The stats reveal a closely contested match in terms of possession, with Club Brugge holding 49% compared to Arsenal’s 51%, but the visitors made better use of the ball through superior corners at 5-1 and slightly more successful dribbles at 64-57. Arsenal’s three assists highlighted their effective attacking play, while Club Brugge recorded none, underscoring their inability to create meaningful chances. Both sides used all five substitutions, with Arsenal’s changes around the 60-70 minute mark helping to maintain momentum, and Club Brugge’s later adjustments failing to shift the balance.

Arsenal picked up two yellow cards, one each for Christian Nørgaard and Ben White, adding some caution to their approach without leading to reds or further disruptions. No penalties or injury-time goals were noted, keeping the focus on Arsenal’s clinical finishing in open play.

The game’s decisive moments came through Arsenal’s goals, starting with Noni Madueke’s opener in the 25th minute assisted by Martín Zubimendi, which gave the visitors early control. Madueke struck again in the 47th minute, once more set up by Zubimendi, effectively killing off any hopes of a Club Brugge recovery. Gabriel Martinelli’s goal in the 56th minute, assisted by Myles Lewis-Skelly, sealed the win, after which Arsenal managed the game with substitutions like Gabriel Jesus replacing Viktor Gyökeres in the 62nd and Riccardo Calafiori coming on for Piero Hincapié in the 63rd.

Yellow cards for Arsenal’s Christian Nørgaard in the 65th minute and Ben White in the 68th added minor tension, but Club Brugge’s substitutions, such as Kaye Furo replacing Nicolò Tresoldi and Bjorn Meijer coming on for Hugo Siquet both in the 67th, did not turn the tide. Further changes, including Ethan Nwaneri replacing Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka coming on for Noni Madueke in the 71st for Arsenal, helped secure the clean sheet.

Club Brugge lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on defensive solidity but struggling to contain Arsenal’s attacks, with players like Raphael Onyedika in midfield before his substitution for Hugo Vetlesen in the 74th minute. Partnerships in the backline, including Hugo Siquet before he was replaced by Bjorn Meijer in the 67th, aimed to limit threats, but the setup left them exposed to quick transitions.

Arsenal deployed a 4-3-3 shape, allowing fluid attacking movements with Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli proving key in the forward line, supported by Martín Zubimendi’s assists from midfield. Defensive roles, such as Ben White before his substitution for Marli Salmon in the 83rd minute, provided stability, while Myles Lewis-Skelly contributed effectively in build-up play.

Bwin’s Man of the Match was Noni Madueke, who stood out with two goals that set Arsenal on their way to victory. Although he recorded no assists, big chances created, or key passes in the data, his clinical finishing in the 25th and 47th minutes proved decisive before he was replaced by Bukayo Saka in the 71st minute.
