Hopefully this serves as a reminder of how fine the margins are. One mistake and two excellent finishes were enough for United, and that’s the Premier League — you can be punished very quickly. On another day, without that slip, Dorgu and Cunha don’t score, Arsenal manage the game, and it ends 1–0 or 2–0 with people saying they controlled it without much effort. But that’s not how it played out, and it shows how little room there is for error.

From here, they need to approach every match with full focus. Not as “just another league game,” but with the intensity of a cup tie. That’s the standard required if they want to stay in the title race.

I will be disappointed if Arsenal don’t win the league this time


Hopefully they start playing some dreamy football and win the thing in style as well - now the two forwards are fit again
