Great win for the Arsenal. Arteta’s subs were critical, both in getting the goal and holding the ball afterward. Pushing Tomiyasu forward alongside Havertz to go long was a wildcard move and it made the difference.
Not even close is my guess. It was a very cagey tactical match and both sides defended set pieces very well.
I’d like to know the last time City had four shots in a match. Maybe prior to the takeover.
“Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.), the offending player must be sent off.”
No mention of the player possessing the ball.
Yeah I am tired of lamenting the inconsistencies of PGMOL, but that was another clear error - the clear red given the situation, but at the very least the yellow from pulling Szoboszlai's shirt.
Oh well
Oh well
