No half measures on the pitch : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Arsenal (1) 2 Martinez og 29, Merino 84 Manchester United (1) 3 Mbeumo 37, Dorgu 50, Cunha 87 Two sensational second-half strikes condemned Arsenal to a first home loss of the campaign to extend their run of off-key results just when they desperately wanted to keep their foot on the gas. It looked like the Gunners had salvaged a late draw when Mikel Merino prodded home from close range following a corner, but

Exclusive by Alessandro Schiavone at San Siro An Italian legend praised Cristhian Mosquera and William Saliba for making life hard for Lautaro Martinez. Giuseppe Bergomi, who won the 1982 World Cup with Italy and is now a famous co-commentator for Sky Italia, leapt to the Argentine's defence. He exclusively told Capital Football: "Lautaro did well for what was possible. "He was up against two very strong Arsenal central defenders. "But he and Thuram worked well and enabled Su

By Alessandro Schiavone at the San Siro, Milano Champions League Matchday 7 Inter Milan 1-3 Arsenal Goals : Gabriel Jesus 10', 31' (A), Sučic 18' (I), Gyökeres 84' (A) Inter were taught a lesson by Arsenal who made it seven wins in as many Champions League games thanks to an emphatic 3-1 victory over last season’s finalists at the San Siro. The Gunners were already assured of a top-eight finish before a ball was even kicked last night and now have the certainty to finish top.

Nottingham Forest 0 v Arsenal 0 By Kaz Mochlinski at the City Ground Premier League Matchweek 22 Arsenal were held to a second successive scoreless draw in the Premier League but the point gained at Nottingham Forest was still seen by Mikel Arteta as another small step towards taking the title for the first time in 22 years.

But a vital double from sub Alejandro Garnacho means Arsenal's advantage going into the second leg at the Emirates next month is a slender

There is still plenty of capital interest in the FA Cup, but little action will take place on London on the weekend of the fourth round ties - February 15/15. Arsenal are the only ones to get a home tie - with League One Wigan Athletic being handed a clash with the Gunners at Emirates Stadium. For the rest of our teams, travel is involved. Brentford's reward for a comfortable 2-0 win at Championship dead men Sheffield Wednesday is a clash against the darlings of the competi

Raining on their parade : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Arsenal 0 Liverpool 0 The folly of believing three Man City draws in a row had just about finished the title race was exposed as just that. Champions Liverpool became the first side to leave the Emirates this season with a clean sheet and only the second after Man City to claim a draw here. Having also prevented the Gunners from scoring in the reverse fixture at Anfield, they have done their best to keep those Gunn

Bournemouth (1) 2 v Arsenal (1) 3 Premier League Matchweek 20 Talking Points By Kaz Mochlinski at the Vitality Stadium No one with any affection for Arsenal will want to remotely tempt fate in the first week of January, but 2026 could very well be an immense year for the club.

It was only the second time the midfielder has bagged two goals in a game - the other occasion being that famous trouncing of Real Madrid last season. As usual, he was everywhere and his contribution stretched

Great way to end the year - Arteta in his post-match press conference : Picture by @YTJourno A disenchanted Unai Emery raced down the tunnel at full-time without waiting to shake hands with Mikel Arteta after Arsenal's thumping 4-1 win over Aston Villa - but the Gunners boss could hardly have cared less. He played down what might be interpreted as churlish behaviour by former Arsenal boss Emery and could afford to be magnanimous. His side had handsomely seen off a side on an
