Matt’s Match Review Arsenal carried on their impressive form following the opening day defeat to Aston Villa by beating Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby, thanks to a first half goal by Olivier Giroud at the Emirates Stadium. We started the better of the two sides as Santi Cazorla had two free kicks in […]
Matt’s Match Review Arsenal avoided any unlikely difficulties and eased into the Champions League group stages for another year by seeing off Fenerbahce 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, resulting in a 5-0 aggregate victory.
