All excitement as Arteta sought to revenge the last defeat against Lampard. Despite the expectant atmosphere, the first twenty mins not really eventful except for some brilliant moves that resulted into naught. Then, Mustafi happened to Arsenal. David trying to salvage situation committed a penalty and a red card. And Chelsea led before the end of the first half. The second portended nothing special. It was sterile Chelsea attack that couldnt improve the scoreline and A-man-down Arsenal that couldn't change game. Then Kante fell. Martinelli was on a counter. And it was a solo run goal. It was 1-1. Azipilcueta, later did tap in, it became 2-1. That lead and the jubilation  never lasted as Bellerin also cut back to play a shot in with his left leg and it became a screaming 2-2. Martinelli was the Ace for Arsenal. Mustafi made a blunder and was urged to keep fighting. Kante's blunder? He was immediately subbed off. Odoi still not an adult.Xhaka impressed with the unexpecte...

Klopp would make you feel like you almost did it before he annihilated you. The legend has amassed 91 points out of the available 93 of last games. Red Devil couldn't stop the current of emotion flowing in Anfield. At the start of the game, Liverpool like a veteran husband doesnt need much poking before conquering his mistress...sorry Manchester United.  Klopp guys, shaming detractors, scored early through the world best defender, Van Dijk. Aftermath, two offside goals ruled out for Liverpool. Mane also through on a goal but De Gea's leg shot like a guitar hand to thwart the attempt. Perreira missing chances like its a taboo to score. First half ended with the Red Devil missing Rashford. Second half with Liverpool scaring Man UtD as Sallah missed a close tap in, Henderson hit woodwork, Mane wide-shot. But Man UTD survived. A clear message that the Red Devil couldnt stop Klopp. Martial took it a notch higher, did some footwork but his angry shot missed wildly. When it...

It was post-Arsenal match. Fans were trolling Arsenal for the eventful draw against Sheffield United. Guardiola drew 2--2 with Crystal Palace due to Fernandinho's own goal. Mourinho had a goalless draw. Chelsea fans felt the plot for a good win had been set. But misfortunes come in droves, assaulting friends and foes, fans and trolls.  The only goal, knocking out Lampard's hope for any point, was delivered too late for recovery. Delivered by Hayden, fans were devastated. Their plight worsened than that of the previous people.  Lampard is undulating between cuss and praise. Mount dismounting on performance. Abraham couldnt harm opponent. William too unwilling to make the right impact. Chelsea as poor as piss, a god whispered. --toonday   

Arsenal almost conceded when the game started. But like yeast their performance increased in size. They survived the onslaught. Pepe stepped up his game, nutmegging opponents. Niles spread like river Nile covering the pitch. Luiz aborted dangerous chances like a Veteran abortionist. Finally, it was Martinelli that rewarded Arteta's trust with a beautiful tap-in goal from Saka's sublime cross. The first half ended so. The second half gave no warning of the win-less end. Arsenal was till all gung-ho believing a second goal must come. But Sheffield like a cunning sheriff of a dangerous county maintained the balance , absorbed the pressure. They saw the game out till they equalised close to the end of the game. It ended one-one. Fans' belief deflated a bit further. How farther and better can they get? Arteta still has the fans but  getting results is the utmost assurance. The team should just learn how to score more than one goal. Albeit, some god whispered " eve...

Arsenal euphorically got an early lead. Pepe peppered some ball into the net 7 mins early like against Chelsea.  Manchester united after the first goal seemed hole-d up.James no space to run. Martial finding footing and fortune. Rashford foggy. Arsenal: ecstatic in the first half. Pepe scored a goal. Dribbled well. Hit the post. Papa scored the second goal. The second half began. Oezil so far was unpredictably unstoppable to the opponents. He simplified passes with wit and unbelievably covered more distance than anybody. Xhaka tidier.  Torreira was combatively intelligent: winning tackles like birthright. David Luiz "Puyol" the defence for Arsenal. Manchester fans couldnt find Rashy nor Martial as Torreira has happened to their creativity. Fred tried his freddie best but his last freekick was so worse bad that the commentator wondered whether the ball was still in North London.  Arteta came with his face but a brain of Guardiola. Fans ask who is at the whee...
