No need for panic despite humbling defeat to City
Arsenal are no strangers to a home defeat on the opening day of a new league season – to Villa in 2013 and West Ham in 2015, in case you needed reminding – but unlike those morale-sapping collapses, their defeat to Manchester City in Unai Emery’s first game in charge need not cause alarm. It […]
