Meanwhile, Arsenal celebrated a 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, with the team's performance suggesting they could save millions in the transfer market, proving better value than West Ham's Declan Rice in their squad.

    In international football, the US Men's National Team (USMNT) secured a convincing 3-0 win over Costa Rica, with Zack Steffen's return to the goal after nearly three years being a critical factor.
