Episode 852 - The corner flag dancer

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to discuss Arsenal's 3-0 Champions League win over Slavia Prague. We chat about the changes to the starting XI, a difficult start for the Gunners before getting on top, a European handball to give us a penalty in the first half, and the enigma that is Mikel Merino finding the back of the net twice. We also talk about an interesting tactical decision from Mikel Arteta, keeping yet another clean sheet to equal an incredibly long-standing club record, Max Dowman becoming the youngest ever Champions League player, and lots more – including the winners of last week's book competition.
