There is no place
like home and when the Gunners play in the colossus of North London Emirates
Stadium, they are a force not to be reckoning with.
As this much anticipated
match that saw the return of league play after a lengthy international break.
The Gunners are
showing an all-around revival and ambitious drive to try to make a stand in the
campaign and despite the Citizens lengthy lead over them, for Wegner and company
there is no stopping his London Boys.
Moreover, today at Emirates
these show off their mettle and extending their dominance in these competitions
against their cross London Town neighbors, and no exception the Hotspurs are
among one of their favorite clients.
Despite the firepower
and dynamism exhibited by the Lilywhites since the arrival of Pochettino in
these parts of the capital, today his complaints and protests over a failed official
decision that the Argentinian claims costed his squad the match as well the
Derby bragging rights.
One thing you cannot
deny from the local Arsenal initial eleven, their momentum and one of a kind
inspiration that carry them with the match and seeing their positive streak extend
this club within striking distance from their cross-town nemesis.
As both Wegner and
Pochettino sent the same formations to their starting elevens with both
sporting a 3-4-2-1 at the end the Gunners persevered and with all the right
moves and strategies placed in the table by their Boss these executed successfully
and the score speaks with a 2-0 win.
Very well, Wegner backfield
composed of Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi and Nacho Monreal earned their
pay today with merit after stopping one of the most dangerous and lethal of
attacking duo in Dele Alli and Harry Kane seeing their efforts going blank.
Alongside of stopping
wonder Boys Christian Eriksen, Ben Davis and making Davinson Sanchez display a
not so bright afternoon and poor game that allowed the locals the liberty of
scoring, despite the finger pointing by Poche over referee Mike Dean double
booboo.
Still both scores came
in the first half for Arsenal with defender Shkodran Mustafi via a kick
performed via Mesut Ozil to open up the score and send the whole of Emirate’s into
a frenzy in the 36 minute.
No later than five minutes
pass, when Lacazette got a pass, he directed it to Alexis Sanchez, and with
sheer insistence, the Chilean striker scores the go ahead and insurance goal
for a notorious North London Derby win.
Delivering three
points of gold for the Gunners and tied with Liverpool in the table with 22
points and a goal differential the Red edging the Londoners, being within one point
of Tottenham situated with 23 points and in fourth place.
Today was not a good
day for Poche and company as he saw his efforts and top of the line-attacking
duo stopped abruptly by a gem of a defensive threesome and a valiant Petr Cech putting
the icing on the cake defensively to continue their recovery in the campaign.
At the end, playing at home and regardless of the
foe you have in front of you the Gunners had a dandy of a match thanks in the majority
to the sold out crowd in Emirates today that never stopped cheering and supporting
their Boys.
Now that can make a
world of difference!
