After a disappointing draw with Crystal Palace at the weekend, Arsenal went into this game in need of a win. With Manchester City jumping ahead of Arsenal in the table, gaining three points would be crucial for the North London side.
The club has faced massive pressure this week amid huge fan dissatisfaction. Having lead the League for large parts of the season, Arsenal’s collapse has been incredibly worrying for the fans, leading to some season ticket holders to sacrifice their tickets for this game.
Thankfully, Arsenal started the game quickly. After rolling the defender, Alexis Sanchez attacked the goal to shoot and beat Ben Foster to give Arsenal the lead.
After the goal, Arsenal dominated for much of the time after wards. As the game got closer to half-time, Sanchez doubled Arsenal’s lead with a smart freekick.
The second-half was relatively even, with both teams adding little threat. As the final whistle blew, Arsenal were given a much-needed three points to take them back to third.
With all this said, let’s see who how the Arsenal players got on.
