Arsenal returned to the Emirates with a dominant 4-1 victory to avenge their controversial loss earlier in the season to Newcastle. Goals from Gabriel (technically an OG), Havertz, Saka and Kiwior did the damage as we comfortably took all 3 points. It could have been even more and if the clean sheet was ruined we're glad it was Joe Willock to do so. P.J. and Rob gang up on Christian and his opinion that we should start an acad...

Arsenal left the London Stadium with a massive victory thanks to a 6-0 hammering of the Hammers.
