Last last the game was a draw if Arsenal had more time do you think they would have won?

Emeka71:
No way.

Arsenal was surprising though I expected them to at least lead with even if it was one point, when you saw the game what was your prediction? Did you also hear Gabriel Jesus is back!

Emeka71:
Arsenal is going nowhere not even in the Barclay's Premiere League because Man-city shall eventually win the Barclay's Premiere League.
