LONDON -- Arsenal maintained their unbeaten start to the season by coasting to a 2-0 Champions League victory against Paris Saint-Germain , on a night to forget for PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Emirates. The win, Arsenal's first in the revamped competition following their 0-0 draw away to Atalanta on matchday one of the league phase, lifts Mikel Arteta's team into seventh position in the league stage -- one of the top eight slots that guarantee a place in the Round of 16 later in the season. Arsenal were set on their way to victory when Kai Havertz headed the opening goal from Leandro Trossard 's 20th minute cross, but the goal was largely down to a mistake by Donnarumma, who misjudged Trossard's delivery and collided with Havertz as the Germany international headed into an empty net.
