Summary
Amy Lawrence and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal’s 4-0 thumping of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The panel discuss just how awesome this Arsenal team is, how hard the players work for each other, Gabriel’s unstoppable ability from set pieces, Victor Gyokeres ending his goal drought, Zubimendi’s fantastic performance, that Myles-Lewis Skelly assist and the Henry-esque finish from Gabriel Martinelli.
Plus, they chat about fans leaving home games early, look ahead to Crystal Palace at the Emirates on Sunday and we hear from Mohammed in Birmingham in the latest instalment of ‘Up Your Arsenal’.
