Vital Statistics from Arsenal 1-1 Leicester City Premier League • Matchday 34 • 07 July 2020 In a performance that showed resilience, battle, structure and a superb attitude, we can find ourselves unlucky not to take the 3 points after the damaging red card and our unfortunate inability to finish key chances and put the […]
Vital Statistics from Wolves v Arsenal Premier League • Matchday 33 • 04 July 2020 Structure, hard work and attitude, right through the team – the simple part of football that’s been missing for too long.
