Emirates Late Drama: Own Goal Secures 2-1 Win Over Wolves To Keep Us Top Of Premier League

Wale busari04 mins

An own goal deep into second-half stoppage time secured a dramatic 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium, keeping us top of the Premier League. After a subdued first half, we came alive after the break, testing Wolves keeper Johnstone with several efforts before taking the lead on 70 minutes. Bukayo Saka’s corner hit the post and deflected off the visiting goalkeeper into the net. As the match approached full time, Wolves struck back. Tolu Arokodare’s header leveled the score, threatening a repeat of recent late collapses against Sunderland and Aston Villa. But in the 94th minute, Yerson Mosquera inadvertently redirected another Saka corner past Johnstone, securing a priceless victory and stretching our lead at the summit to five points. First Half Frustration Fans may have expected a straightforward scoring display for the league leaders against a side struggling at the foot of the table, but the opening 45 minutes were largely cagey. Our first meaningful chance saw Jurrien Timber nod over from close range, with Viktor Gyokeres arguably better positioned to test Johnstone. Wolves then broke quickly, allowing Hwang Hee-Chan a 50-yard run and shot that David Raya managed to block. In the chase, Ben White suffered a muscle injury, forcing Myles Lewis-Skelly on in the 30th minute. Gabriel Martinelli had three opportunities to break the deadlock but failed to capitalize—heading wide, seeing a shot blocked, and then poking one past the post. Despite our dominance, we entered half-time without a shot on target. Wolves, meanwhile, had a late chance of their own, only denied by a crucial Piero Hincapie sliding block. Stroke of Fortune The breakthrough finally came on 70 minutes. Saka curled a corner toward goal, which struck the far post and bounced off Johnstone into the net, ending a 46-year wait to score against Wolves under these circumstances. After taking the lead, we pressed for a second, with Martin Ødegaard, Leandro Trossard, and Mikel Merino introduced to add fresh impetus. Ødegaard forced a side-netting effort, Gyokeres’ turned shot narrowly missed, and Trossard’s close-range attempt skimmed past the post. Double Late Drama Wolves launched a late fightback, and in the 90th minute, Matheus Mane’s cross found Arokodare, whose header beat Raya to level the score. Just when it seemed we might drop points again, Saka’s corner in the 94th minute caused chaos in the box. Gabriel Jesus pressured Mosquera, whose deflection found the net, sending the Emirates into euphoria and securing a vital three points. The win kept us atop the table and marked another thrilling example of our resilience in the dying moments of games.

Arsenal Seal Strong 3–0 Win With Madueke Brace And Martinelli Screamer

Wale busari02 mins

Arsenal’s 3–0 victory began to take shape early on, with the home side showing clear intent from the opening whistle. Their first real warning came in the 22nd minute when Piero Hincapié unleashed a powerful effort that clipped the right post, a moment that hinted at the pressure to come. The breakthrough followed shortly after. In the 25th minute, Noni Madueke produced a brilliant long-range strike that crashed off the same post before sliding into the net, giving Arsenal a deserved 1–0 advantage and settling the rhythm of the contest. After going into the break with that slim lead, Arsenal exploded out of the dressing room. Barely two minutes into the second half, Madueke struck again—this time rising to nod home from close range after a well-placed delivery from Martin Zubimendi, doubling the score at 2–0 as the opposing goalkeeper failed to react decisively. By the 56th minute, the result was beyond doubt. Gabriel Martinelli capped the performance with a sensational finish into the top-right corner, leaving Dani van den Heuvel helpless and sealing Arsenal’s commanding 3–0 win.

Buendia’s Last-Gasp Strike Secures 2-1 Aston Villa Win Over Arsenal, Ending 18-Match Unbeaten Run

Wale busari02 mins

Arsenal’s 18-match unbeaten run came to a dramatic end on Saturday as Emiliano Buendia’s last-gasp strike secured a 2-1 victory for Aston Villa over the Premier League leaders. The Gunners fell behind at Villa Park when Matty Cash put the hosts ahead in the first half, but Leandro Trossard pulled Arsenal level after coming off the bench following the interval. Both teams had opportunities to take the lead, but it was Argentine winger Buendia who capitalised on sloppy defending from Arsenal to score the winner in the dying moments of the game. This defeat marks Arsenal’s first loss in all competitions since a 1-0 setback at Liverpool on August 31, the only other defeat they had suffered this season. Aston Villa have repeatedly troubled Arsenal in recent seasons, taking key points at pivotal moments in the title race. Saturday’s win was yet another painful encounter for Mikel Arteta’s side, this time against Villa under former Arsenal manager Unai Emery, whose team have emerged as surprise title contenders with a streak of seven consecutive wins in all competitions. The result leaves Arsenal just three points ahead of second-placed Villa, while third-placed Manchester City can cut the gap to two points if they defeat Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium later on Saturday.

Arsenal Tighten Grip On Premier League Summit With Comfortable 2-0 Brentford Win

Wale busari03 mins

Arsenal continued their steady march at the top of the Premier League with a calm 2–0 win over Brentford on Wednesday night, as Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka delivered the decisive goals. Mikel Arteta rang the changes after the draw with Chelsea, bringing in Ben White, Noni Madueke and captain Martin Ødegaard. The reshuffle paid off almost immediately, with Arsenal settling into control from the opening minutes. The breakthrough arrived in the 11th minute when White surged forward on the right flank and whipped in a dangerous delivery. Merino met the cross with a firm header that left Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher with no chance. Operating in an unfamiliar attacking role because of injuries to Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Viktor Gyökeres, Merino once again proved his value in front of goal. The strike took his tally to 13 goals in 2025, the best return among Arsenal players this year. Brentford’s best opportunity came from a set-piece, as Kevin Schade rose highest at a corner, only for David Raya to claw the header onto the crossbar. Beyond that moment, the visitors struggled to build any real momentum. Just before the interval, Arsenal struck again. Merino turned provider, threading a clever pass into Saka’s path, and the winger kept his composure to finish, even after Kelleher got a touch to the ball. Arsenal remained on top in the second half without needing to move through the gears, though Arteta was forced into two changes as Cristhian Mosquera and Declan Rice both picked up knocks. The victory stretches Arsenal’s unbeaten run across all competitions to 18 matches and makes it eight straight home wins, further strengthening their grip on the summit of the Premier League table.

Arsenal Held To 1–1 Draw By Ten-Man Chelsea As Merino Cancels Chalobah’s Header

Wale busari03 mins

Arsenal left Stamford Bridge with a single point after Mikel Merino wiped out Trevoh Chalobah’s opener in a contest that felt equal parts chess match and street fight, even after Chelsea were reduced to 10 men. The evening opened with promise on both ends: Bukayo Saka drifted into a pocket of daylight but couldn’t turn it into gold, while Estêvão flashed a reminder of his threat without delivering the final spark. The rhythm never quite settled. Every duel carried a charge, and Moisés Caicedo cranked up the voltage when he flew into Merino with a studs-up challenge that caught the Spaniard above the foot. Merino hobbled but survived, refusing to surrender his place in the storm. Chelsea, a man down, refused to retreat into a shell. Early in the second half, Reece James curled in a teasing corner from the left, and Chalobah rose through the crowd to thump home his third league goal of the campaign, the roar from the stands swelling like blue thunder. Mikel Arteta had both Viktor Gyökeres and Gabriel Jesus waiting on the bench, but Arsenal found their breakthrough through a midfielder who’s been moonlighting as a poacher. Saka clipped in a searching cross, and Merino ghosted into the box to guide it home just before the hour mark, a finish with all the calm of a man flicking a switch. Arsenal pushed. Chelsea bent but refused to break. Robert Sánchez delivered two heroic moments late on, first smothering Merino’s low strike, then springing up to hurl himself into the path of Gyökeres’ rebound, absorbing the impact and the applause in one breath. For Arsenal, the draw tasted like a meal missing seasoning. They never truly exploited their advantage, and the chance to widen their grip slipped away. They still end the weekend five points clear after Manchester City’s win over Leeds. Chelsea, meanwhile, battled with grit sharpened by adversity, matching their visitors stride for stride and climbing back into third place ahead of Aston Villa.

Chelsea vs Arsenal: Premier League Showdown Set to Shape Title Race

Fola Badmus05 mins

The Premier League’s most anticipated clash of the season takes place on Sunday as leaders Arsenal travel to second-placed Chelsea in a match that could transform the title race — or push the Gunners closer to ending their two-decade wait for a league crown. Arsenal hold a six-point advantage at the top heading into the weekend. With Liverpool collapsing in form and Manchester City struggling to keep pace, the title appears increasingly within Arsenal’s grasp. Chelsea, however, remain their closest challengers. Fresh off winning the FIFA Club World Cup and boasting a squad assembled at a cost exceeding $1bn, Enzo Maresca’s youthful side is pushing well ahead of expectations. The Blues head into the derby on a three-match winning run and have won nine of their last 11 matches in all competitions, losing only once. Arteta’s side is unbeaten in 16 matches across all competitions, winning 14 of them. Widely regarded as one of the strongest squads in Europe, Arsenal have shown consistency that has escaped their main rivals. Arteta: Chelsea “fully deserve” their spot Despite Chelsea being labelled outsiders for the title, Mikel Arteta is not buying into that narrative. “They are there because they fully deserve to be,” Arteta said on Friday. “The squad they have assembled, the quality they have, the numbers they’re producing — it makes sense. They’re very tough.” Arteta called Chelsea one of the teams he most enjoys watching due to their fluidity, individual brilliance and tactical clarity. “It’s a big London derby. They’re in really good form. We know the challenge — and the opportunity — on Sunday. We are fully ready.” Are Chelsea Arsenal’s biggest threat? This match represents the most difficult test yet for Chelsea’s title aspirations. Eighteen-year-old Brazilian sensation Estevao, with nine goals in his last 13 appearances for club and country, has been a revelation. His arrival from Palmeiras has added dynamism and unpredictability to Chelsea’s attack. With Liverpool in crisis — having lost nine of their last 12 matches — and Manchester City’s inconsistency continuing, Chelsea appear the only team capable of sustaining a push against Arsenal. City, however, could climb temporarily into second place if they defeat Leeds United on Saturday. Recent history After finishing runners-up for three consecutive seasons, optimism is building that Arsenal may finally reclaim the trophy. Chelsea’s last match Chelsea delivered one of their best performances of the season on Tuesday, beating Barcelona 3–0 in the Champions League. Maresca, in his second Premier League campaign, continues to blend youthful talent with an evolving tactical identity. Sunday’s encounter at Stamford Bridge now stands as a pivotal moment in the Premier League narrative — one that could define the season’s closing months.

Arsenal Dominate Second Half to Edge Bayern Munich 3-1, Handing Germans First Defeat in 18 Matches

Wale busari01 mins

The second half of the Champions League showdown between Arsenal and Bayern Munich belonged entirely to the Gunners. Unlike the first half, Arsenal returned from the break with increased intensity and a clear attacking intent. Mikel Arteta made decisive moves in the closing stages, introducing Riccardo Calafiori, who immediately provided a brilliant assist for fellow substitute Madueke to score. Shortly after, Gabriel Martinelli was also brought on, and he made an instant impact, scoring to make it 3-1. Following a Bayern corner, Arsenal launched a swift counterattack. Manuel Neuer misjudged a long ball played to Martinelli well outside his goal, leaving the Brazilian with a simple finish into an open net. Bayern now appear set to suffer their first defeat in 18 competitive matches this season.

Eberechi Eze Scores Historic Hat-Trick As Arsenal Crush Tottenham 4-1

Wale busari02 mins

Eberechi Eze announced himself in spectacular fashion in his first North London Derby, scoring a sensational hat-trick as Arsenal thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium, stretching their Premier League lead to six points. Fourteen years after being released by Arsenal as a youngster, Eze’s performance was a full-circle moment, dominating a game that had fans buzzing from start to finish. Tottenham manager Thomas Frank opted for a back five, aiming to frustrate Arsenal with a defensive setup. While the strategy initially slowed the hosts, two clinical goals before halftime changed the complexion of the match. Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a beautifully weighted finish, followed five minutes later by Eze’s first goal. Eze struck again within the first minute of the second half, curling a left-footed finish into the net to make it 3-0. Tottenham briefly fought back when Richarlison scored a stunning long-range strike, but it was always Eze’s day. He completed his hat-trick in the 76th minute, leaving defenders flat-footed and capping a historic performance. The 27-year-old became the first player to net a North London Derby hat-trick since Alan Sunderland in 1978, showcasing the talent and flair that once had him describing Kevin De Bruyne as his toughest opponent. On this afternoon, Eze proved he can produce magic on the biggest stage.
