The Arsenal of old against Watford

Right off the bat kick off whistle, it felt like it would Arsenal’s day. And it was. All of Arsenal’s 3 most prized young talents made the score-line as they bagged 3 stunning goals within the first hour of the match.

Inside five minutes after kick off, a thoroughly well-oiled move was started and finished off by Odegaard. Saka passed off the ball to Odegaard, who flicked it through beautifully for Saka as the Norwegian made his run.

Saka cut it back right onto the Norwegian’s left foot who drove shot right in the bottom left corner. However, Arsenal wouldn’t keep this lead for much longer. Just 6 minutes later, Cucho Hernandez would equalize with a bicycle kick.

The Gunners replied back in true Arsenal style. First goal’s supporting cast would now become the main character. Saka stole the ball in front off Watford’s box, played a one two with Lazacette and buried the ball onto the keeper’s right.

The Young stars are the main cast

The beautiful goals galore would continue into the second half with Martinelli scoring. The Brazilian got the ball as Odegaard flicked the ball delicately to Laca, who once again laid it down for a shot.

Martinelli took the shot on his first attempt from just the edge of the box, as he slotted it in the top left corner. Game. Set. Match. Watford struck back with a late Sissoko goal, but Arsenal managed to stay ahead.

Arsenal’s young talents showed just exactly why it is finally so exciting to be watching this team grow. All of the goals were extremely well-worked, almost as if cogs in a well-drilled machine

The stats show why Arteta is building something special with these young men. It’s exciting to see the team finally play that fast-paced, quick one touch passing game the club’s been always known for.

Lacazette deserves some much needed credit too. The Frenchman provided two exquisite assists for Saka and Martinelli’s goals.

He might be lacking numbers in front of the goal right now, but he’s been a leader top to bottom.

Last but not the least, we have to give our plaudits to Mikel Arteta for turning Arsenal into a monster. We’re seeing something special built right in front of our eyes.

On the other hand, looking at some of our rivals sink further and further is not bad.

Jota and Firmino dealt two blows too heavy for Arsenal

Reds visit to the Emirates against Arsenal: As it happened

Arsenal looked like they might cash in on their dominance for most of the game but it wasn’t to be. A stark reminder for all Gooners that there is still much to be improved upon in the team.

A moment of sheer precision from Liverpool undid all the great work Arsenal had done in the first half. Just a few minutes after the 50th minute mark, a beautifully thread pass by Thiago found it’s way to Jota.

The Portuguese always loves scoring at Arsenal’s expense and last night was no different. The former Porto man took the ball and ran against the Arsenal backline, and jammed the ball into near post of Ramsdale’s goal.

Just eight minutes later, a failed clearance by Bukayo Saka would cost Arsenal as Robertson stole the ball. The Reds left-back ran with the ball and cut it back for Firmino, who tapped it in with the outside of his boot.

After those two goals, it looked as if Arsenal were done and dusted. Perhaps, a reminder that this is the difference between where Arsenal are and where Arsenal have to get to.

Regardless, Arsenal sit at 4th, one point ahead of United with 2 games in hand. This shouldn’t put Arsenal’s Champions League hopes in danger, however they can’t afford many more slip ups.

Nevertheless, one game doesn’t make or break anything. If anything, this game perfectly showed how Arsenal are transitioning finally and are building a proper squad capable of contending for trophies.

That is all the more evident as Arteta’s Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp only had huge praise for the man.

This is all we have for Arsenal’s game against the Reds as the visitors took away all points at the Emirates.

Up next for Arteta and his army is the away trip to Villa Park this weekend, going against Liverpool icon Gerrard’s team.

However, penalty it was directed by the referee. Lacazette stepped up and struck it in as calm as the sea on a warm summer day.

Fans and foes alike are finally standing up and taking note of what’s being built here. As always recently, Arsenal looked untouchable and unbeatable.

The most talked discussed reason for Arsenal’s recent success is their offensive prowess. But, for that to work a team needs a solid foundation. Arteta has finally started to find Partey’s best.
