It's an OK goal but only because of Foden's world class pass that set it up on a plate for him.
Happy Kieran Tierney, Happy me. Happy Scotland ! 🥹❤️

Born on this day 1892 in Crosshouse, near Kilmarnock - Andy Neil. He was the first Arsenal inside-forward that played in a withdrawn role as Herbert Chapman worked towards perfecting his WM formation. This is how Charlie Buchan recollected that decision.

Tried a few Google searches before finding a post on mumsnet of all places that may solve my issue. WTF happened to "turn it off and then back on again"?

If it had been Phil Foden, it would have been the best corner ever taken.

Watching him on Saturday Kitchen, it's just dawned on me that Olly Murs is the lovechild of Tim Lovejoy and Will Young.

Bukayo Saka has now scored more goals for England than anyone else while they were an Arsenal player (13).

I was asked by someone on the other site if I could produce a table of Arsenal's goalscorers with goals scored in each competition. I thought that would be a good idea, so here's a sortable table of them. Enjoy.

I'm 100% certain that even if Robertson hadn't been interfering with play in an offside decision, Slot would have insisted that the referee disallow it as it was from a set piece anyway.

On this day 1914, Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at White Hart Lane in the semi-final of the London FA Challenge Cup, reaching the final for the first time.
Both Arsenal goals came from corner kicks...

After poring over a considerable number of match reports, I've concluded that the Gunners of 1903 went 854 minutes between conceding goals so they are still the club's record holders.

Arsenal have gone 16 games from the start of the season, conceding just three goals - the outright best defensive start to a campaign by any English club in history after 16 matches.
