Playing Aubameyang in the midfield put the hosts forward with a signature attacking finish and stormed the penalty area a few steps away, using defenders Liam Cooper and Luke Ayling as a wall as ‘he hit them and fell to the nearest post 15 meters away.
Aubameyang should have doubled Arsenal’s lead because David Luiz’s defense from the touchline found him in space, but his scoring effort was skillfully countered by Aaling.
Arsenal believed they got a penalty as Saka fell into the penalty area after rounding Cooper, but the VAR referee stepped in, and after Stuart Atwell went to the pitch screen the decision was overturned.
But moments later, Missler missed a penalty, as he settled the ball with a pass, allowing Saka to pass, before attacking him in the penalty area. Aubameyang sent Messier the wrong way, scoring his 200th goal in Europe’s five big leagues.
Arsenal played for Leeds and got another just before the break, as the intricate play of Saca, Smith Row and finally Danny Sibaius in the box allowed Bellerin to shoot from 10 yards, and his close shot passed by Missler, which should have done better. . It was Arsenal’s “five-a-side” football, Smith said in the commentary.
