Matchweek 28: Colney Talk | Manchester United - Arsenal
Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United in a 1-1 stalemate wasn't as the score reflected. It was only a feather away from a win or a loss - either team. The Goal That Shouldn’t Have Been - Bruno Fernandes’ free-kick opener, born from a defensive lapse and David Raya’s sluggish positioning, felt like a self-inflicted wound.
Martinelli’s Surprise return was a 58th-minute welcome entrance that jolted the game to life. Rusty but relentless, his mazy run and cutback for Ødegaard forced a heroic save. But why wait so long? Arteta’s delayed substitution felt like unlocking a fire extinguisher after the smoke alarm blares.
Rice’s redemption's thunderous equalizer—a 20-yard missile that rattled the post on its way in—saved Arsenal’s blushes. Yet his heroics masked a midfield that too often bypassed creativity for safety. Ødegaard, usually the puppet master, drifted in and out and should have been our match winning hero.
Raya’s double save in stoppage time, clawing Fernandes’ header off the line, reminded us why he’s Arsenal's man. This wasn’t a bad day entirely —it was a familiar one. A team capable of fighting all through it all. Tune in to the byte-sized breakdown for more. The resilience is what drives us all. We keep moving. Onward Arsenal. Come on you!!
