Arsenal U21s 3-0 Manchester United U21s - Amario Cozier-Duberry has just done the Bukayo Saka near post right-footed finish into the top corner
I may have gasped
Arsenal are among the lowest ranked teams in the Premier League for tackles, interceptions and fouls but still get more red cards than any other team
A look through the sending offs since Arteta took charge as well as numbers across the Premier League era
Thought I’d use the player of the season piece to shine a light on a player most won’t: Gabriel
From needing to be talked through his debut to being the senior figure in the backline, it’s been great to see him mature and grow even more this year

, who is very progressive in his passing
Of course, he can still improve but he has the qualities this Arsenal team need
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry will join the Monday Night Football panel this evening as his former side look to keep pace with Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table 🔴
🚁 Nothing more to report ... the players are still off due to the unauthorised drone
Anyone got any good jokes to pass the time?

Declan Rice had more touches than any player in the first half (59). Home fans started the afternoon by booing his every touch but that stopped about midway through the half with him seeing so much of the ball (and getting two assists)
Set-pieces matter
Nicolas Jover running up the touchline as Arsenal defended a free kick vs Villa signifies that
Overseeing improvements in attack & defence, here’s a look into why Arsenal are the only PL team not to concede from a corner this season
Asked Mikel Arteta about playing Nicolas Pepe off the left tonight, Rob Holding and David Luiz trying to get the team to defend higher upfield and the contrasts when defending deeper after the 3-1 win over Southampton
Emile Smith Rowe has officially signed his new long-term contract with Arsenal and is the club's new number 10
Here's a long read on his story so over with insights from those who helped mould him at Junior Elite, Leipzig, Huddersfield and Arsenal
As reported by

, Salah Oulad M'Hand will travel with the Arsenal first team for their FA Cup tie vs Nottingham Forest
Understand the plan is for him to start on the bench and come on for his debut if the state of play suits
Backgrounder on Reuell Walters’ unusual route to Arsenal
• Not setting out to join an academy too early
• Time at Spurs and why it wasn’t the right fit
• Transformative trial at Man Utd + registration mishap
• Success with Fortnite
• Finding Arsenal
Understand Reuell Walters is set to leave Arsenal at the expiry of his contract this summer
Was offered a new deal but declined. 1st team exposure now needed. Being monitored by clubs in PL, Championship Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy & Belgium
Arsenal will wear an all-white kit vs Nottingham Forest as part of their 'No More Red' campaign with Adidas addressing knife crime in London
Campaign also involves the creation of new safe spaces around the Emirates for football and other creative fields
Albert Sambi Lokonga continuing to impress in midfield but what’s happening ahead of him needs work
Nicolas Pepe and Emile Smith Rowe play off each other nicely but the balance between Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is still lacking
Takehiro Tomiyasu is quality. Level-headed in everything he does, the stability he brings to Arsenal will be vital in the next four games
It may also allow Nuno Tavares to embrace his title as Arsenal’s agent of chaos in a more productive way
Mikel Arteta’s always trusted Granit Xhaka, he did again today and it worked
Emile Smith Rowe and Martin Ødegaard coexisting works, as it always did
Got to see more of what the back five are like on the ball
A very nice north London derby
