Takehiro Tomiyasu was a standout Wednesday as he helped Arsenal book their place in the Champions League last 16 with a 6-0 thrashing of visiting French side RC Lens.
Starting at right-back, the Japan defender was an attacking threat throughout the first half at the Emirates Stadium, logging two assists and creating several other opportunities with his crossing and play down the flank.
He contributed to Kai Havertz's 13th-minute opener with a cross, while he assisted on subsequent goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard that saw the English Premier League leaders take a 5-0 advantage into halftime.
Tomiyasu, reportedly a transfer target for German giants Bayern Munich, headed to the bench at halftime.
Arsenal sit on top of Champions League Group B with 12 points after four wins and one loss.
In Group D, Takefusa Kubo came on as a 74th-minute substitute for Real Sociedad in their scoreless draw at home to Salzburg. The Spanish side, who had already booked their passage to the knockout stage, remain unbeaten on top of the group with three wins and two draws.
