Arteta not "Brighton" Enough to Beat Brighton

Arsenal looked bright but couldnt undo Brighton's brilliant spirit. Till 41st minute, nothing eventful from Arsenal except Saka's bold shot. He hit the woodwork and set Lacazette up for an almost-a-goal attempt. It was as if the loss of their last game continued into this game.

Pepe's movement disturbed the opponents and was creating a healthy space for Saka and Auba. Yet Asrenal had nothing to show for the first half despite having an upper hand.

In the third quarter of the game, Arsenal was still brighter. Some brilliant exchanges among Saka, Aubameyang and Lacazette. It was 68th min that Pepe put Arsenal on the scoresheet with an Arjen-robben-curly shot. He cut in and whipped it in.

To Arteta dismay, Dunk got the equaliser in a defender-fashion when he stamped a ball into the net off Holding. Finally, it was Maupay that doused the hope for any stupid point. As Arsenal left the pitch fighting for no-point.

Is Arsenal on course or curse? Time has started to tell. David Luiz was not in the fray today, it was either Kolasinac fumbling or Guendouzi heavy limb? Or Brighton was just lucky?

Weekend of the Champs and Cramps

Champs do the winning and the cramps give us whining. Champs get the points and the cramps the pains. Liverpool started the weekend like a proper champ that they are. Sallah like the coming festival stood out in the game with two solid goals. The champ of the encounter, Bournemouth burned Chelsea with a lone goal. Is Lampard's ride changing fortune? No winning is permanent, obviously. Manchester United was saved by Greenwood. While one youngster was instrumental to his team's performance, another one ( Moise Kean) that entered as a sub was later subbed off because he looked knackered. Champs and Cramps. Be and the Wannabes! Talking of the Champs and Cramps, Gunners were gunned down. Decimated beyond reparation in the first half. De Bruyne ricocheting shot couldn't be stopped resulting into the first goal and Sterling stellar placement was also conceded, second goal. The third was still De Bruyne ruining the Gunners with a curvy shot that beat the defenders wi...

Liverpool Laundered Chelsea 2-0

Lampard's League of Assassins became the victim and were turned into whiff when they met King Klopp's Coven of Wizards. Mane mane-handled them, scoring a brace. Klopp's magic wand turned Timo Werner to Timo Waster. Havertz became Harvard without a degree. Kante could not count any goal. Kepa also was no keeper. Chelsea became ChelShit: as all turned messy. The game actually started as if Chelsea would be in control for a longer time. Werner squandered two good chances, though his movements were always threatening. But the real story unveiled after 40+ minutes into the game. Mane got Christensen to foul him. Red card for CB. The game became only Liverpool's. Magic Mane later got the first goal and also the second which was gifted by Kepa unkempt pass. Jorginho kept jogging but not creating. Zouma tried his best and Tomori as sub was not timorous but the scoreline wasnt palatable. Lampard has a lot to fix. But he has another league o...

True True Mark of a Champion: Both Liverpool and Manchester City Came from behind to Claim Maximum Points in their Matches

Klopp called his boys mentality monsters and of course they are. Coming from behind three times in a week to secure victory was massive. Aston Villa got the first goal and they intended to sit on it. They pushed and held forth till like 80 minutes into the game when Robertson equalised and Mane got the most dramatic winner at the tick-tock of the last minute. They are the king of comebacks. No one does it better than Klopp guys. #AVLLIV On #MCISOU James Ward Prowse tucked a rebound from Stuart Armstrong strike to put Sothampton ahead. City heaved and puffed before they could get an equaliser. Until Kyle Walker secured a goal and later assisted Aguero for the winner. Kyle Walker, the savior. Guardiola would love to be ahead but Klopp this time would not be willing to relinquish such lead. It unfolds we follow sha! --toonday
