Handbrake Off: The Athletic FC’s Arsenal show
Adrian Clarke is joined by Amy Lawrence and Michael Cox to talk all about Arsenal's magnificent win over Manchester United at the Emirates.
This week it's all about two Hale End boys Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah as they scored the goals that gave Arsenal the three points. Michael tells how both players are able to succeed so well in their individual roles and take on the opposition so cleanly. We also discuss the impact that Mikel Arteta has had in such a short space of time and why it has worked for him, what his frustrations were as a player at the club, and the things he's brought in as a manager to improve the whole club. And there's a lot of love for Oleksandr Zinchenko who seemed like a "man possessed" on the pitch.
The panel also go into the signing of Leandro Trossard and whether Arsenal now have a squad to push on in the league and cup competitions, and there's a chat about the state of the pitches in the women's game too.
