Summary

Mark Chapman is here with the last Football Daily pod of the year! And what a better way to end 2022 than with a jam packed Sports Report episode! We are live at the Amex as Arsenal end the month seven points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table after beating Brighton 4-2 - in what was a thrilling game on Saturday night. A delighted Mikel Arteta joins the pod to give his reaction after results went his way. Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City drew one all with Everton – John Stones and Frank Lampard give their reactions and we hear from Marcus Rashford, after he was dropped from the starting XI for Manchester United for 'internal disciplinary' reasons. In the end he came on to score the winner in the second half against Wolves, and he let’s us in on the reason as to why he was on the bench and Erik ten Hag gives his analysis too. Ian Dennis and Chris Waddle were at St James’ Park as Leeds held Newcastle to a goalless draw – Eddie Howe and Jesse Marsch pop on the pod post match and not only that, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse makes a Football Daily appearance after he scored at both ends of the pitch after his side experienced their fifth Premier League defeat in a row after losing to Fulham.
