Fans Blamed VAR as Arsenal Drew with Sheffield United Despite Having the Lead Goal

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 " even if Arsenal cooked egusi soup, it would draw".

Brentford Beat Blundering Gunner Two Goal To Nil

The start of EPL came with Arteta still unable to fumble out of his not-too-convincing career in Arsenal. Brentford came roaring from relegation to beat Arsenal who dream of getting to top four this season. But like their pre-season, a miscarriage of dreams, they fell a goal behind to Brentford through Canos super strike. From that moment forward, Brentford became the Bully, created more chances and Arsenal passed sideways as if the goal post was at the corner flag. Anyways, White white-out on the field, the presence of 50 million bargain wasn't felt. Mari was too casual for a defender. Tierney will soon burn out. Chambers tried his chambers-efforts. Upfront Balogun was starved of direct passes. Pepe will never pepper any defender except when he is in luck. The dude cannot be consistent except he sees a man-manager. Smith is a ball-smith but combined with Xhaka sideways and momentary slip & sleep off, Smith Rowe just rowing to a fruitless breeze. Martinelli needs to man...

EPLWATCH 19th week

#ARSLIV In an exciting encounter, a better Liverpool attacks were shadowed by their woeful defence as Arsenal's lucky flashes of brilliance equalled the scoreline. Sallah lived large like an Egyptian god as he wiggled freely. Sanchez, though below par, got a goal. Xhaka reminded us his shooting grace but his woeful defence was a concern. TakeHome: A team's character ain't completed until her shoulder can bear the burden of relentless attack that she subjects her opponents to. Klopp should note! ‎#EVECHE It was a bleak afternoon for Conte's guys. A sterile performance as the false nine strategy produced no goal. Everton almost punished them with Pickford keeping Chelsea out. TakeHome: Being a champion is difficult and what is more difficult is staying a champion. Conte will definitely tell you that it's gruelling. ‎#MCIBOR The citizens' winning stretches to 17 games. Aguero was back to his leading role as David Silva dictated tunes and Sterling ...

Lampard Outclassed the Master: Chelsea dealt Spurs two goals to Nil

Chelsea took the bulling Spurs by the horns: no cautiousness but direct attack. Mourinho was defeated. Chelsea guys didnt come with a respect for the master but they were all brimming to establish dominance which they did. Rudiger was a no-nonsense man, manning the defense. Zouma still un-fooballer-like but always decent.Tomori, your model footballer, tidy through the game. Kovacic was silent but stringing passes. Kante was a beast that made me imagined a combo of him with a De Bruyne in a midfield will be almost unbeatable. While Abraham and Mount were decent, William was the Marshall that Spurs couldnt handle. His every touch weakened the Spurs defense. He got the first goal and converted the other. The game was all blue and Spurs were all kung-fu fighting. Son got a red card. The goalie a yellow. Welcome back to Premier League, Mourinho. --toonday
