I think Captains are the ones saving their clubs now. It's been weeks now that Martin Odegaard has been giving Arsenal goal but the one he did on Saturday is very useful, he equalised the goal, and as he did, pressure on Gunners came down and that is how they are able to score the winning goal. If Odegaard didn't score, Arsenal would be on the pressure until the end of 90 minutes and it might even give Fulham upper hand to score more goals, so Arsenal might have lost the first position that they, of which Manchester City now have enough goals to be ahead Arsenal, but as Arsenal didn't loose, Manchester City remain Second and Arsenal remain first while others follow them.

Gabriel Magahias would have a great night rest as he is able to score win winning goal that cover up his mistake. He did dangerous thing at the defense line, trying to dribble in front of Mitrovic that is stronger than him is the shit mistake that he did, but his teammates didn't blame him for that. Although he won't forgive himself but as he scored the goal, he redeemed himself from fans and even himself. The same way that William Saliba redeemed himself as he scored own goal and scored a goal in the following match, this one would reach Gabriel enough lesson not to dribble at the back again. I am sure Arteta didn't teach them to dribble at the back, they are only doing what they like.

Lisadro Martinez and Raphael Varane don't have time to play with ball at the back, their own is to see back and clear it out, they don't dribble, even ever since Eric Ten Hag has been using Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez together, there has not been silly mistake at the defensive line, they are playing very good, all balls out, must be instructions from the coach because that is not Lisandro Martinez play way at Ajax but maybe Ten Hag is yet to do some work on that, maybe the players never have the kind of footwork that Eric Ten want, that is why he ordered them to always clear all the balls out.

Bernard Leno is the one that tried his possible best to deny Arsenal, he is an ex goalkeeper for Arsenal, so he knows how they plays and because of that, he denied them from scoring goals. Even Martin Odeegard's goal is a deflection, if the ball didn't meet opponent, it might not score, and the second goal are fault of the defenders, there is no one to cover the home for them, this gave William Saliba and Gabriel Magahias operate and score the goal. When VAR was even checking possible foul, I thought the goal would be canceled and it it's cancelled, there won't be chance for Arsenal to score another goal again and they match may draw the match.
