Opposite day for Arsenal
Vengeance has become something of a habit for Arsenal this season. With Kill Bill-like relentlessness they have sliced through nearly every team that wronged them last season. Crystal Palace were taken care of on the opening day, before the demons of last season's curtain raiser were exorcised at Brentford. A win at Tottenham helped heal over several scars too. Each occasion was special, but one more remained on their list.
Last year a beaten down and beleaguered Arsenal side saw their Champions League hopes capitulate at a cauldronous St. James' Park. As Jacob Murphy struck the post within 90 seconds it appeared we may see a sequel. Mikel Arteta though, was keen to write his own script.
