His goal and assist earned him a place with Real Madrid legend, Karim Benzema, and ex-Barcelona forward, Luis Suarez, as the only players to score and assist in three consecutive home matches in the Champions League.
The Arsenal star becomes the third player to ever achieve the feat, having putting PSV Eindhoven and Lens to the sword in the previous games.
