SHOT AT CITY
Pedro dropping deep to roll a pass down the middle of the
park. Arsenal’s defence has been split in two, and Hazard races clear. He draws
Ospina and slips the ball under him.
The ball’s poked out on the left by Rudiger for a corner.
The set piece is swung into the mixer. Monreal meets it, 12 yards out with his
head. Then pure farce, as the ball clanks off Alonso’s head to the right, then
clips Rudiger’s head and flies back off to the left ... and in, past a hugely
confused and flat-footed Caballero. That might officially count as a Rudiger
own goal, but let’s give it to Monreal, whose header before the double-pinball
madness looked on target.
Lacazette busies himself down the inside-right channel. He
reaches the byline and checks, attempting a pullback into the mixer. The ball
ricochets off Rudiger and flies across the face of the six-yard box. Xhaka, at
the near post, acts with the poacher’s instinct of a striker, and prods the loose
ball home!
MY
OPINION
Arsenal have shown in this match
the damage that they can do when things go right for them but this season so
far that seems not to have happened. I don’t think the selling of Sachez will
do as much damage in fact it might bring the club closer together. They might
have also found a gem in Xhaka.
