Played 433 with Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Chiriches, Vertonghen, Townsend, Sandro, Dembele, Eriksen, Lamela, Soldado.
In the first half, I hit the frame of the goal twice. Once from a great Lamela strike. Szczesny saved a few good efforts.
In the second half, Defoe came on for Soldado, who had been booked in the first half. And it was Defoe who was instrumental in the first goal as he broke free of the Arsenal defence, latching on to an assist from Eriksen, I think. Defoe's shot was well saved though but Townsend was there to finish the move with a rebound goal from a tight angle.
The scoring wasn't over though, oh no....
The second goal was created by Paulinho as he attacked down the left. He swung in a good cross which was superbly finished by Lennon as he swung his foot on to a volley which left Szczesny helpless. I'm trying to upload the goal, as it was a pleasing volley, especially as it was off Lennon's left foot.
Lennon used his pace for the third goal. Latching on to an aerial ball, from Eriksen, which beat the Arsenal defence, Lennon sprinted clear and chipped a delicate lob over a despairing Szczesny.
I soaked up the pressure well from Arsenal. The opponent seemed talented but couldn't beat my defence. Going against AVB's better judgment, I use a deep defence but wingers pushed up the pitch. Allowing for an expansive game which can punish sides.
Final score 3-0
Townsend 69
Lennon 80,84
To show my dominance in the game. The highlights reel features 4 first half saves from Szczesny! The only other positive highlights for Arsenal being a Giroud miss and a Lloris save.
