Reaction on the forum:
SA Gunner: “That was such a jittery end to the game.
Raya a good game, but that ****ing moment!!!!
We have areas to improve.
But a win is all that matters, let’s go.”
dino bravo: “They literally created nothing. A couple of Romero headers was about it. We tried to Arsenal it by giving them a couple of goals, but 3 points is all that matters. COYG.”
Let’s play Aubamawang: “That game was so much more stressful than it needed to be.
That being said, if we’re giving penalties for players charging into someone trying to clear a ball, we’re all in trouble.”
