We marched into the Champions League quarter-finals after beating PSV Eindhoven 9-3 on aggregate, following a 2-2 draw in the second leg in north London. With the damage done the week before, Oleksandr Zinchenko opened the scoring just six minutes in, but we saw that wiped out by Ivan Perisic 12 minutes afterwards.

However PSV came back looking to restore some pride and after Johan Bakayoko fizzed an effort narrowly over the crossbar following some sloppy defending, the Dutch champions got back level on the night when Guus Til slipped a pass into Ivan Perisic and the veteran Croatian midfielder cleverly sent it into the top corner. That was the first goal we’d conceded at home in five Champions League games this season, and Raya had to be at his best to thwart what would have been a second a minute later when he stretched to tip a goalbound Driouech effort around his far post. This was a much tighter affair than the first leg and we went back up the other end and struck the goalframe when after a neat passing move, Myles Lewis-Skelly nudged the ball through Walt
