What if the winner of the winner had changed camp? Liverpool, who had won 5 games on the Gong since the start of the season and thought of redoing Crystal Palace with a late equalization, finally bowed on a goal in additional time, for his first defeat of the season. The reigning champion, Arsenal had a great opportunity to get closer to the ranking. And for once and despite opposite events (an unpilled penalty for a fault on Gyökeres), the Gunners managed to hang the victory at the end of the time on the lawn of Newcastle, which does not generally succeed. These crossed destinies seem to convince England that it may indeed be the year of Arsenal.
“A week ago, the glass was half empty, now it is more than half full. Liverpool loses, Arsenal wins in a breathtaking way. They deserve it, it was the best football team. Arteta made very good replacements, he started with a solid team. It will give them great confidence ”for example exhibited Gary Neville, the consultant of Sky Sports. It is indeed one of the key points of victory against Newcastle, which shows the right job done during the summer transfer window. Arteta started the meeting with 4 aligned recruits (Mosquera, Zubimendi, Eze, Gyökeres), and the 5 entrants during the match were, or are still for some, power holders last season (Saliba, Martinelli, Merino, Ă–degaard, Lewis-Skelly).
Considered the future winners
The strike force of the Gunners is impressive, and we do not even talk about it from the punch died by Gabriel to Nick Woltemade which could have worth a red card. Luck is getting involved, since it was this same Gabriel, not taken by the patrol, which gave the advantage to his team in additional time, of the head. The Brazilian central defender could even have conceded a penalty for one hand in his surface while the score was 1-1. Character, a solid workforce, a suspicion of luck, and here is Arsenal considered again as a real pretender to the title. “The credibility of Arsenal was again questioned. This time they had the answers ”written as well The Athletic.
“What a difference in a week! Mikel Arteta has lifted his foot against Newcastle after being widely criticized for his caution against Manchester City, and this has borne fruit for the Arsenal coach, since his team won the kind of match that only the champions can win “assured Sky Sports. With an Eze holder in the middle for the first time with Arsenal in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta responded to criticism on his lack of audacity. Above all, it is today 2nd, only 2 points from Liverpool, despite a damn raised calendar (trips to Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle, reception of Manchester City). Given the program, Arsenal could have lost more feathers, but it did well. The proof, the “super-computer” who calculates the chances of title day after day, now places the London club as future champion of England, with 6 points ahead of Liverpool. There is only.
