Arsenal vs PSV: Raheem Sterling manages 2 assists in One Half

Raheem Sterling has looked excellent for Arsenal in the first half. The England international has had a struggle so far at North London following his loan move from Chelsea, but he has made a strong impact, with two assists in the first 45 minutes.

Sterling first set up Zinchenko for Arsenal's first goal, and then had another assist when Declan Rice headed past the PSV keeper to score Arsenal's second goal.

Raheem Sterling's UCL Milestone

With that, Sterling has managed a career milestone by recording two assists in a single UEFA Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven, marking his 88th appearance in the competition.

This performance contrasts sharply with his earlier struggles at Arsenal, where he had only one goal involvement in his previous 19 appearances, highlighting a significant breakout moment in the match against PSV Eindhoven.

Sterling also had a chance to score his first UCL goal for Arsenal, but despite having gone through behind the PSV defence, the player failed to beat the keeper. Mikel Arteta is likely to give him full 90 minutes in the match and it is to be seen if the former Liverpool player can finally find the elusive goal.
