An 18 year old English superstar talent was wrongly sent off, then comes back in a massive fixture, in front of the world, and dominated full grown men defensively and scores a brilliant solo goal. The English media line up to call him a villain and to “rein it in” You decide why

This is very good. Clear and succinct.

Ethan Nwaneri's goal ended a passing sequence of 36 uninterrupted passes in a move that lasted one minute & 54 seconds and involved every Arsenal outfield player. It was the longest passing move leading to a Premier League goal since September 2023.

Nwaneri came on the 84th minute. He had more touches than Haaland.

Erling Haaland likes the taste of toothpaste and orange juice.

Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri is the second youngest Englishman to score a goal in the Champions League (17 years, 314 days). Jude Bellingham was 25 days younger when he scored for Borussia Dortmund against Manchester City in 2021 (17 years, 289 days).

Can we petition to exile Michael Oliver to Nadayada Island?

Arsenal are down to 10 men against Wolves, although they can scarcely believe it. Michael Oliver showed Myles Lewis-Skelly a straight red card for serious foul play after this challenge on Matt Doherty, in spite of the Wolves defender barely being out of his own penalty box.

Arsenal absolutely *do* need ~2 more players who grab a draw by the neck and single-handedly turn it into a win. But if you don't like physical try-hard space-eater signings like Havertz and Merino, go watch Man City to see what a floor can look like without that profile.
