Arsenal star Riccardo Calafiori reveals he learned English through Netflix and drill music
IF Arsenal continue to shoot themselves in the foot, they will not have a leg to stand on in this Premier League title race.It is also the second time this has happened inside a first half. Talk about making things unnecessarily hard for yourselves.
It was just the fourth time the Three Lions star had missed a Prem game since the start of the 2021/22 campaign – and only the third game in all comps since December 17. Five years on, and a bit of déjà vu? Arteta would have hoped that days like this were behind him and his squad, one consistently now challenging for major honours.
On paper, that trio should steamroller the opposition, but this never materialised in the opening 20 minutes. Arsenal were clunky, loose in possession and lacking an attacking intent to unlock a well-coached Iraola outfit. Yes, it was a foul around 45 yards from goal, but a clear denial of a goal scoring opportunity nonetheless, one that would never have been recovered by Saliba’s fellow defenders.Instead, they chanted: “F**k Howard Webb” before serenading Saliba with their chant to the tune of Latin pop hit ‘Tequila’.
The Gunners travelled to face Andoni Iraola's men having won five and drawn three of their opening eight matches this term.Justin Kluivert then sealed his side's incredible 2-0 victory from the penalty spot on 79 minutes.Was lucky to get away with one poor pass out from the back early on. Made amends for another error by saving smartly with the legs to deny Marcus Tavernier after initially spilling a Semenyo cross-cum-shot before clumsily conceding the penalty.
