“I have returned the Man of the Match award to him because he was an unsong hero in the match”: Gabriel Martinelli names ONE of his teammates who were just so perfect against Arsenal as he gave him Man of the match award
Either way, neither team celebrated at the end – both mindful of the gap between them and the top. Arsenal so nearly won it with the last kick of the game hen Leandro Trossard had a chance, but VAR might have ruled it out anyway.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, back and fit for the first time in two months, was the creator of his side’s goal, when he set up Gabriel Martinelli after 60 minutes.
Pedro Neto levelled with 20 minutes to go and a draw was just about the fair result, with Arsenal arguably edging it.
Can this Arsenal side win ten-in-a-row and get themselves back in it? They are better with Odegaard, for sure, but still lack the spark they had in the previous two seasons.
