Arsenal fans will be ‘silly’ and get nervous if they are challenging for silverware late in the season, putting more pressure on the team, reckons Joe Cole.

The Gunners continued their solid start to the season with a 2-0 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday night at the Emirates.

Gabriel Martinelli was on the scoresheet again, before Bukayo Saka came off the bench to score a late second.

Mikel Arteta’s side showed their strength in depth again, as the Spaniard was able to bring on the likes of Saka, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze and Jurrien Timber as substitutes.

Second in the Premier League table and with two wins from two Champions League outings, Cole sees Arsenal challenging to win both competitions, given the amount of quality in the squad.
