Arsenal secures top spot with away win!

After defeating Fulham, Arsenal has won 8 Premier League away games in 2025, more than any other team. And only conceded 3 goals in 8 games and kept zero sheets in 5 games!

This away record is indeed outstanding! And judging from the data, the key to winning away games is to defend well and concede fewer goals. This is the premise! This game was actually won by defense and set pieces, but this is strength: you just can't score, but I can score from corner kicks!

Let’s briefly talk about the game:

Fulham even had the advantage in attack in the first half. #Arsenal# stepped up their offense at the beginning of the second half. Trossard received a pass from Eze and got a shooting opportunity. Saka also caused a dangerous situation in the penalty area through a breakthrough. Although Fulham can still form a counterattack, they are no longer able to take turns as they did in the first half. It is reasonable to counterattack in the last ten minutes.

After a stalemate in the second half, Arsenal opened up the situation through a corner kick. Trossard did not perform well today, but the goal was of great significance and he seized the opportunity! For forward players, scoring goals is the most important thing! Speaking of corner kicks, there were actually a lot of tactical corner kicks today, which was a bit confusing. It may be the combination of this kind of tactical corner kicks that made Fulham's defense a little confused!

Today's sports battle is indeed not ideal. There are many passing errors and the rhythm is not fast. However, these starting players have been very tired recently and the farmers are not soft persimmons. It is more important to win this kind of game and score three points! Moreover, there were several opportunities in the second half. Zhekeresh also had shots, but they were not from particularly good angles. After losing the ball, the Farmers started to counterattack, but the quality of the offense was average, and Arsenal did not increase their intensity. They managed to maintain the victory evenly. When it was time to defend, this Arsenal team would not let up. The penalty kick was controversial. In fact, I felt that Kevin had slight contact with Saka before touching the ball, but Taylor had an ominous premonition when he looked at VAR. After all, the opponent did touch the ball... Generally speaking, there is no problem with this victory. However, after Odegaard was injured, it is obvious that the midfielder in the attacking third zone needs someone who can pass the threatening ball. Eze is still adapting to this role, and his teammates are also adapting to him. Zubimendi is really comprehensive and has great physical fitness.

In short, just win and get back to the top! Gun fans stayed up all night in vain!

Opta statistics, for the first time since November of the 2003-04 season, Arsenal allowed their opponents 0 shots on target in two consecutive Premier League games. The last time this happened, Arsenal won the league championship, and the last time they faced each other in the second game The hand is also Fulham...

Fulham's offense in the first half was quite lively, but in fact there was not a single shot on target in the whole game. Arsenal was better in terms of offensive quality and defense. This victory is not suppressive, but there is no problem. The key data are there.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in metaphysics. This season is really the most confident to compete for the championship in twenty years. Let’s win every game! The defense is really good. The opponent has allowed 0 shots on target in two consecutive games. The foundation is too solid.

Arsenal is the first team in the Premier League this season to have 10 different players score goals: Djekeresh, Saka, Timber, Calafiore, Zubimendi, Rice, Merino, Martinelli, Gabriel, Trossard.

Basically, the main lineup has scored goals in the Premier League (this is only counting the Premier League, and Eze actually also scored). The pressure has come to Saliba, Raya and Odegaard...

It is strange to say that many people complain about Arsenal's poor offense and poor coordination, but it is the team with the best average goal distribution in the Premier League, true "team football"! Since Arteta took office, he has really not relied on a certain center or productive winger to attack. Even when Saka was at his peak, he was not the kind of winger who only focused on scoring goals.

So there is no fear of anyone missing. Now even if Dzhekeresh and Saka go down, and Havertz and Madueka come back, the impact will not be great.

If you think about it carefully, Arteta actually has his own system. He can stack stars, but he does not rely on any one star. Of course, this refers to the past two seasons. He still relied heavily on a few players in the first two seasons of coaching. At that time, there were only a few players who met his requirements...

Squawka statistics, Saka's statistics for this game:

14 one-on-one successes, the most in the game;

13 touches in the opponent's penalty area, the most in the game;

won the ball 10 times, the most in the game;

6 opportunities created, the most in the game;

6 dribbles, the most in the game;

5 fouls committed, the most in the game;

2 tackles, tied for the most.

Quite versatile performance. Trossard scored the winning goal in this game, but if you look at the whole game, it is actually difficult for Trossard to be selected as the best player in the game, especially in the first half.

Saka had a presence throughout the game and contributed on both offense and defense. In the first half, he relied on breakthroughs from the right to make crosses many times. In the second half, he created many threats on the right and even almost caused a penalty kick.

After the hamstring injury, Saka has actually never returned to his peak. The main reason is that he does not feel as confident and explosive as before when performing movements. Now it feels like this rhythm is slowly returning!

As long as he is healthy, Saka will undoubtedly be the starter on the right.

Let’s wait for the news in the next issue of the press conference. It’s too late.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Arteta was asked about the candidates for the "Presidential Hill" head coach in the history of the Premier League. The four coaches given by the Arsenal coach were: Wenger, Guardiola, Moyes, and Ferguson.

In fact, it is the selection of the greatest coach since the Premier League. I think there is no dispute between Wenger, Ferguson and Guardiola, but Moyes is not suitable..

Moyes is indeed a veteran of the Premier League, but the problem is that he does not have many honors to show for it, and his weight is still a bit lacking. In fact, it would be more convincing to replace him with Mourinho or Klopp.

Of course, Moyes can also be regarded as Arteta’s mentor. His choice is understandable because of human factors. I hope that the fourth person will be Arteta in the future! He has been leading the team for 6 years. If he wins a few championships, he is very likely to be on the list. The number of coaching games, winning rate, etc. are no problem. It just depends on the championship!

In an interview with Sky Sports, Arteta talked about the transfer rumors on social media.

The Arsenal coach said: "My children all ask me, 'Dad, are we going to sign this player?' Sometimes I don't even know the person! But sometimes they do know the player we are trying to acquire very well!"

Maybe he is talking about the few self-media who have exclusive information. Don't tell me, the magicians are really accurate sometimes! This should not be talking about great people like Romano and DO. Their information is generally recognized.

Every club actually has media informants, including Arsenal. In fact, after Arteta arrived in the past few years, the confidentiality work has been done very well. There is no need to leak any information. Fans still want to read the rumors~

Mosquera said in an interview with Marca that he would not rule out returning to Valencia in the future.

The 21-year-old central defender said: "There is nothing like Valencia. This club gave me everything from the first day and made me fall in love with it. Who knows? There are many turns in life. Football will take you to one place one day, and then one day to another place. But a place like Valencia is unique, that is for sure."

Valencia is the place where Mosquera grew up, and I think this is completely understandable. For example, if Nwaneri is poached, he says, "No place has given me as much as Arsenal, it feels like home." Isn't this normal? People can't forget their roots.

Just play football well, and no one requires you to retire or take care of yourself at Arsenal. If you contribute during your peak period, you are a good comrade!
