Arsenal delivered the statement Champions League win Mikel Arteta had demanded as they swept aside Sporting Lisbon 5-1. Arteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials following some underwhelming displays away from home, and the Gunners manager got exactly what he asked for. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners had failed to win or score in their two away games in the competition so far this season, but they made a blistering start in the Portuguese capital and took the lead after only seven minutes. Declan Rice fed overlapping full-back Jurrien Timber, who curled a low cross in behind the home defence for Martinelli to finish at the far post. Arsenal doubled their lead in the 20th minute thanks to a glorious ball over the top from Thomas Partey. Saka escaped the clutches of his marker Maximiliano Araujo to beat the offside trap and poke the ball past advancing goalkeeper Franco Israel for Havertz to tap home. It was a scintillating first-half display which completely overshadowed the presence of Viktor Gyokeres in Sporting’s attack. The prolific Sweden striker, formerly of Coventry, has been turning the heads of Europe’s top clubs with his 24 goals in 17 games this season – including a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month. But the only time he got a sniff of a run at goal after an optimistic long ball, he was marshalled out of harm’s way by Gabriel. David Raya was forced into one save, tipping a fierce Geovany Quenda drive over the crossbar. But Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Rice’s corner into the back of the net. To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. Former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards fired over, as did Gyokeres, with Arsenal temporarily on the back foot. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved, and Gyokeres’ miserable night was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.

NoneAsana stock price has suffered a harsh reversal in the past few days as investors fade the December 5 earnings surge. ASAN shares retreated to $21.65, down by over 22% from the highest point this month. Is this SaaS stock a good one to invest in? Advertisement Asana’s is a leader in its business Asana is a technology company offering thousands of companies solutions. Some of its top clients include Danone, Spotify, and Gannett. Advertisement According to Gartner, Asana is one of the industry leaders. Its top competitors include Smartsheet, Wrike, Monday, Airtable, Atlassian, and ClickUp. The collaboration industry has grown in the past few years as more companies have embraced remote work and technology. This means that the industry has a large total addressable market and strong competition. Asana’s business has grown well in the past few years, with revenue jumping from over $142 million in 2019 to over $706 million in the trailing twelve months. This growth happened as the number of core clients spending $5,000 a year rose to 23,609. Asana benefits from having thousands of customers and often experiencing low churn, meaning that its clients rarely move to competitors. The most recent results showed that its retention rate was about 98%, higher than most companies. The challenge, however, is that Asana’s business is slowing as competition rises. Signing up new large customers is also becoming difficult because they already have their providers. Asana’s slow growth and AI hopes Recent results showed that Asana’s revenue rose by 10% to $183 million. Analysts expect that Asana’s fourth-quarter revenues will come in at $188 million, up by about 9.9% from last year. This growth will bring its total annual revenue to $723 million, up by 10.8% from a year earlier. Asana’s revenue will then rise by in the next financial year. Its real numbers will likely be better than estimates because it has a long history of beating the consensus. Asana hopes that its AI solutions will help to supercharge its business trajectory. It has built AI Studio and Smart Workflows that are helping customers boost their productivity. Profitability has been another challenge as the company has continued to lose money in the past few years. Its cumulative net loss in the last five financial years stood at about $1 billion. Fortunately, it is now reducing its losses, with its Q3 loss at $60 million. Analysts see Asana’s loss per share narrowing from 14 cents this year to just 0.01 cents next year. There are concerns about Asana’s valuation. It has a market cap of over $4 billion and a rule of 40 metric of just 8%. This figure is calculated by adding the company’s profit margin and growth metric, and it is a sign that it prioritizes growth over profits. Read more: Asana stock price forecast A closer look at Asana’s weekly chart shows that it closely resembles most altcoins. It formed a double-bottom chart pattern at $11.33 and a neckline at $26. A double-bottom pattern often leads to a strong bullish breakout. Therefore, while Asana stock is highly overvalued, it will likely stage a strong comeback soon, especially if it continues to report strong results. If this happens, the next point to watch in 2025 will be the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement level at $62.37, which is about 195% above the current level.
