Adetuwo ‘Yemi Jr. is back again to rate the Arsenal performances at City… Fabianski: Had an amazing game. It so surprising what a good run of games can do to one’s confidence.

Apart from it winning the hypothetical, unofficial award for most boring Arsenal game of the season there isn’t much to say about yesterday’s 0-0 draw with Manchester City. Both defences ruled and it made for an dour affair, in complete contrast to the hyperactive attacking duel that I had expected pre-game. A lot of that […]
Arsenal 0 Manchester City 0 Lukasz Fabianski – Has been in the firing line for the past week but was under no such pressure during the match.
