THE painful elimination by Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League quickly passed into oblivion for her Arsenal, thrashed 4-1 by Crystal Palace at home and escaped to +8 from Manchester City – of course having one more match.
A great finish by him Martinelli through the area he made it 1-0 for the home team in the 28th minute, with Satchel to double his team’s tally a quarter later with a side-kick.
THE Fireplace he also saw his name enter the scorers’ table in the 55th minute, with Sloop to reduce in the 63rd minute for the “eagles” with a close effort after a fumble in the defense of the “gunners”.
