Premier Catastrophe
Surprise at Molineux! Arsenal dominate from start to finish, but remain on the brink of a victory. Four minutes in, Saka opened the scoring with a header after a great action by Rice. The Englishman makes his debut in style in a position that is not his: midfielder. Since then, absolutely nothing. José Sa’s great game, almost insurmountable after the goal, avoided the biggest one. Arteta’s men did their best with hanging balls, but the Portuguese was there to stop everything. Already in stoppage time, André Trindade almost equalized.
The complementary game started with a great goal from Piero Hincapie. A bit, after a VAR review, which would end up coming to nothing due to grotesque defensive errors and luck. First, with a kick from Hugo Bueno. A shot that created an unstoppable parabola for David Raya. Already in stoppage time, and after the injuries of Saka and Trossard, disaster struck. The sinking of the Titanic live. Calafiori came in to maintain the result, but ended up being the big loser. All because of a bad action between Gabriel Magalhães and David Raya. They did not understand each other, leaving the ball dead and Edozie’s shot unlucky enough to bounce off the Italian. A grotesque: from his thigh to the stick, from the stick to the knee, from the knee to the net. In other words, City depends on itself to close the gap.
