Summary

Amy Lawrence and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to reflect on a professional performance in Arsenal’s 2-0 win away to Port Vale in the Carabao Cup. 


The panel discuss the class of Eberechi Eze’s first Arsenal goal, Max Dowman’s impressive cameo, yet another contribution from Leandro Trossard from the bench and Myles Lewis-Skelly’s adjustment to less minutes this season after his whirlwind debut campaign last year.


They also discuss Arsenal’s current injury problems after Madueke’s knee injury and Arsenal Women being awarded Team of the Year at this year’s Balon D’or ceremony. 


Plus, a look ahead to a huge match against Newcastle at St James’ Park this weekend, and we hear from Bill in Malibu in the latest instalment of ‘Up Your Arsenal’.
