Welcome into today's edition of ESPNFC. I'm Tatum Thomas from the studio, but I craved

0:08.7

early in Shaka, his love only one place to start today's show. And that, of course,

0:13.2

is Arsenal. Against Manchester City, it wasn't quite the game we were hoping for. Arsenal

0:19.2

won't care, though, as they would win. In fact, it would be City who would come out the

0:22.4

better of the two sides. Great chance for Ake early on. He would put that wide. Ray

0:27.5

then caught in possession. Alvarez couldn't find the target, though. Coagich, meanwhile,

0:32.8

lucky to be on the pitch. I think everyone agrees that if it wasn't a red for the first

We did it, Dan. It's a great day to be a Guna. It's a great day.

1:25.2

It was a huge win, huge win. You feel like everyone connected with the club needed that.

1:31.8

You know, when you got, when you got a team that's got one overview for the last decade or so,

1:36.9

it's a good feeling to get the monkey off your back. I don't know, Michele and the players will

be delighted with that. There was whiskers between the sides. It came down to the finest details.
