ARSENAL YAIPIGA SOUTHAMPTON BAO 2-1, SANTI CAZORLA ATUPIA DAKIKA ZA MWISHO
Decorous is the word to describe Claude Puel's reaction to what was a grandstand finish manufactured by problematic refereeing.
Arsenal
won this at the death, in the fourth minute of injury time, thanks to
Santi Cazorla's penalty, but the real story was not of any relentless
late barrage but Bobby Madley's blind spot in the build-up.
Laurent
Koscielny lay inside the six-yard box after taking a whack to the head
in a previous phase, Madley somehow deciding that play ought to
continue.
