How Arsenal smashed many records at Old Trafford

-

The much anticipated match between Manchester United has come and gone but it left some bruises on the Manchester side of red.

Since 2006, Arsenal have not won at Old Trafford and since the start of the Premier League, Arsenal has never scored a penalty at Old Trafford but all these records came crashing on Sunday when Pierre Emerick Aubameyang who has been on a goal drought broke the highest goalless run of his career since 2014 with a record shattering penalty, sending De Gea the wrong way to smash home the only goal of the match.

It was Paul Pogba's third time of causing a penalty and the fifth penalty Manchester United have conceded a penalty in seven home league games.
This is their worst start to a home league campaign since 1972-73, when they finished 18th, the following year, they went down. That won't happen, obviously, but there will also come a time when there is just too much thicket to cut through, separating them from the top four places. Again, not there yet. But were in November now, and the contenders are beginning to make their intentions known.
It was this same Manchester United team that destroyed RB Leipzig a few days ago. What then happened against Arsenal, no one but the team and the coach can explain. This led to Roy Keane expressing fears that this crop of players would lead to the sack of Ole Gunner Solskjaer.
Arsenal goes close to the top of the table while Manchester United remains behind at 15th.

Piers Morgan blasts Arsenal for selling Aubameyang

A prominent British journalist and Gunners fan has condemned the selling of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona on a free transfer after the London side waived any transfer fee to ensure that the deal pulled through.. He raged on Twitter about what he called a terrible transfer window for the Gunners. The former Arsenal Captain was ostracised from the first team for over ten match days after being accused of indiscipline for going to visit his sick mother. This crisis which was well publicised led to the decision by the Manager Mikel Arteta to ask the board to let the Gabonese captain move this month. Piers Morgan in a recent interview with SUN explained that Mikel Arteta has taken weird pleasure in publicly humiliating our best and best-paid player, behaving like a particularly smug and intransigent disciplinarian headmaster pushing a naughty schoolboy for reasons that have never been fully explained but at what benefit to the team? he questioned. Piers Morgan and Aubameyang Arsena...

Drop messi and Aguero

The Argentina national team is made up of top notch professionals and really great talents. But they have under-performed in recent decades. Their array of stars always fall below expections and always fall short in moments when big names stand to be counted for their country. Following the coming of the new Coach, Lionel Scaloni, he decided to gradually drop the old guard for fresh legs. This decision led to the dropping of Angel Di Maria from the national team since July despite reaching the Champions League final with PSG and contributing immensely in the run up to that finals, a move he didn't like.  This led to an outburst from the prolific winger who doesn't understand why he should be sidelined while Lionel Messi, Aguero, Otamendi and other players in their 30's are still there. He requested that all of them be withdrawn from the national team if that's the intention, otherwise why would a player in great form like him for more than 18 months now be ignored.  He ...
