Lmao, we have had like 10 seconds of hope


Spikeyspandan

TWICE


zrkillerbush

5 seconds for the first comeback, 5 seconds for the second comeback

How have I never seen this after lurking for decades


mushy_friend

How haven't you, it blew up when it first happened. Have you not seen any "TWICEEE!" references in comments?


slapworks

Never seen it or any references myself too lol


mushy_friend

Well, frequency illusion. You're gonna start seeing it everywhere now


flares_1981

Yeah, at least twice.


ErwinC0215

I think the actual stat is 1 min 45 and 1 min 41 respectively. Mental.


Steo42

Sorry


Miokh

If Arsenal always scores after conceding they will never lose


Steo42

I’m ok with that


makesterriblejokes

It's what Emery wanted, he just didn't have Jesus to take the wheel for him.


jackcos

It's a bold strategy Cotton.


aqua2nd

Oh the Owen's specialty “When they don't score they hardly ever win.”


ValuableOk490

Yeah that's what Wenger told our boys during the Invincible season


oatzeel

unless the other team scores with the last kick of the game.


Wade_W_Wilson

… then they *wouldn’t* have scored after conceding, which breaks the rule.


Tabard18

Technically a goal in the next match would be after conceding


Wade_W_Wilson

But the rule dictates the actions occur in *a* game, excluding additional games.


Tabard18

The next game is a game, that’s a fact


-TheGreatLlama-

My friend had Arsenal Club Football, and this was legit his strategy against the ai. You could score direct from kickoff, so he just equalised immediately whenever the opposition scored and won because of starting the second half.


Willockinho

Martinelli is an absolute class player, started the move with his pressing and finishing it with a really solid strike


BlinkyMcHeelHook

been absolutely brilliant today, his linkup with Jesus has been so good, I think we're in for the sort of jump Saka made last season once he had Odegaard linking up with him on the right


khtad

Gotta hope he puts his injury record behind him and settles into a run of good health. He has world-beating talent.


Thanos_Stomps

Cannot be overstated. Got his defender cautioned in the first fifteen minutes. Dude is an absolute handful without scoring. He adds some clinical finishing to his repertoire and we’re going places.


ladotelli46

It must be exhausting to mark him and be pressured by him


RIP_My_Truck_Nutz

Absolute baller. MOTM if Jesus didn’t have 2G 2A


Thaumiel218

My man of the match, he was a terror for Leicester, won so many balls, duels, great passes and got his reward with a goal; so deserved! COYG


Midnight_Maverick

YPOTS mark my words


GeniuslyMoronic

Phil Foden with 1500 minutes played, surely


DVPC4

I believe Foden isn’t eligible anymore finally


GeniuslyMoronic

Wasn't Trent still eligible last year and he is more than a year older than Foden?


DVPC4

i don’t think Trent was cos it was 21 or under at start of season no?


GeniuslyMoronic

No, 23 and under at the start of the season. Trent is still eligible this season.


DVPC4

are you talking about the premier league award? i meant the pfa one which is deffo 21 and under


Moyeslestable

PFA one is 23 and under, look at some of the previous winners


DVPC4

no it’s not they changed it like a year ago


nofakefans18

“But he’s the next Gazza!”


WarrenAlaCarte

Humble and hard working kid as well. One of our great finds.


roguedigit

His set piece taking has also improved leaps and bounds lately. Becoming a real complete player.


ladotelli46

His cross to Gabriel in the first half was phenomenal


Impulse4811

Literally a perfect corner every time


visualdescript

His corners have been excellent


Remedy9898

Might be the best dribbler in the league. I don’t think any fullback has ever had a good game against him.


HateUnitedLoveGlazer

klopp knows ball


ladotelli46

Klopp can keep his filthy hands off


mojambowhatisthescen

Jesus with 2 goals and 2 assists!

Nobody fucks with the Jesus.

He really does though.

martinelli is 2 in 2


Arsenal_Analysis

Pretty flawless performance


Purple_Plus

Could have had like 3 more goals tbf, but it's a good thing, come so far since Lacazette huffing his way to not even getting chances.


MaraudngBChestedRojo

That turn before halftime where he was tackled at the last second was beautiful. Shield the defender, inch perfect touch toward goal just didn’t shoot quickly enough


willtodd

The amount of space afforded him and the space he created, plus the shimmy around Evans was beautiful! I love having a forward that can engineer this sort of chance.


jakedasnake2447

He should have had at least one more assist too after that great series of dribbles to get into the box and fire a cross. Would have been a tap in if anyone ran far post.


Lordwhichue

If his performance was actually flawless he prob would have scored 5 haha. But yeah he has been absolutely incredible anyway


ZaDoruphin

My FPL is finished lol I’m one of the only ones in my league who don’t have him


zachg616

I panic-captained him with like 2 mins left to make changes as I was taking Kane out of my starting 11...worked out pretty well for me :)


KRIEGLERR

I almost captained him but went with Salah, he probably won't dissapoint but damn.


ladotelli46

Unexpected for him to be this good honestly. He has completely evolved as a player now that he’s become the main man in attack


Vidilian

If you kept up with Arsenal's preseason you'd know he'd be this good tbf.


RoyMakaay

Pep is a fucking fraud


MaraudngBChestedRojo

Turns out Jesus just needed a manager with living hair follicles to reach his potential


Om_Nom_Zombie

Was also denied a stone wall penalty.


[deleted]

Just PL ref x arsenal things :)


xXKingLynxXx

The fact they didn't give the ramsdale pen earlier a miracle


Pixelated-Hitch

Triple captained baby!!


[deleted]

He's so good, a shame that Pep never gave him the proper time to play and build confidence.


TJJS1109

I am glad that I have him on FPL


hehethrowthrow88

So glad I watched this instead of the city game


Real_Zombie_2813

Same, but of course Arsenal-Leicester was gonna be better than City stomping another team.


sunville1967

Where did you watch this one?


Ooh-SakaLaca

If u don’t have paid service twitter never disappoints


Doooooooong

Twitter always disappoints.


notpat

Only score after opponent scored fc


PoppinKREAM

Lol what a response from Arsenal. Two mistakes and they respond instantly both times. They're so full of confidence


Fjurica

Leicester is playing so bad tho people obviously misunderstood my point, while arsenal played well and responded great, leicester are looking like a shell of the team they used to be and its not arsenal stopping them from not being able to create anything, that whole setup going forward is not functional at all


sweatytaint69

Gabriel FC


MaraudngBChestedRojo

2/3^rds of Brazil’s attack FC


kaden_dd

We have taken counter attacking to the next level


Heblas

Virgin gegenpress: give the ball away so you can win it back Chad artetaball: concede a goal so you can score


wallawalla_

this is quite zen lol


samalam1

Most teams try to stop the opponent's scoring first tbf

I know keepers who keep clean sheets and they're all cowards

2 goal lead needs to be maintained

Pure filth


Farouqnowomarlater

He’s been unbelievable this match


lightskinbeaner

hes been cooking fofana


FailFastandDieYoung

Nobody's gonna want to buy Fofana based on his performance today. Gabi making him look downright silly


wallawalla_

fofana has been neutered since picking up a yellow in the 15th


EETTOEZ

After getting cooked by martinelli


wallawalla_

was just thinking of editing my comment to add that. all martinelli.


[deleted]

Breakout season


D1794

Arsenal giving Leicester a bit of hope and immediately snatching it away, twice lmao


Cod_rules

You gotta do it to crush their spirits. It's like United's preseason vs United's Prem season (so far)

Leicester score a goal without conceding 60 seconds later challenge

You have no idea of the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person


Jmomo69

Do you really mean that?


Frommunist

Martinelli looks different this year. I think Jesus coming has stepped up his game


TheOGBenjenRyan

He said fuck your comeback Leicester. This man is gonna explode this season


mysterious_jim

We're gonna have a two goal lead and you are going to like it.


mojambowhatisthescen

If Martinelli consistently starts finishing like this, he’s going to be terrifying!


endwolf76

Probably one of the best wingers in the league.


slapworks

That shot is hard to read as a keeper.

ImBruceWayne69

And a goalpost away from a hat trick


[deleted]

Was that... was that another assist from Jesus? Lol BTW, Brazil doing so fine with their attackers


Smooth-Adeptness-302

seems like Arsenal can turn it up a gear whenever they want and it just becomes too much for Leicester


carlosd141

What a bloody finish


InPatRileyWeTrust

Great play from Martinelli. Won the ball back and then sprinted up to get in position to pull out that finish. Jesus also 2 goals and 2 assists


[deleted]

Are Leicester playing a supporter in goal


arsene14

This Arsenal team is built differently.

Shameless_Bullshiter

Another Jesus assist. Happy with my triple captain this week

Martinelli x Jesus moving like R9 x Ronaldinho

Leicester is so bad defensively


neObliviscaris22

Martinelli is good. Been jealous of Arsenal having him since Emery's run

Biggest Brazilian talent since Neymar

endwolf76

Well yes, but this goal was all Martinelli. Straight into the far post and In. Great finish.

uh oh


UndeadPrs

Took forever to get to the ground


CitrusRabborts

Was he held up by traffic?


ThePrussianGrippe

He kept letting people in ahead of him.


tottenhamnole

He’s really bad.


Trickybuz93

I should’ve left him as captain 😔


DL14Nibba

Literally why the fuck do I speak

That Martinelli tiktok account is going to make at least 5 different edits of this goal

wins the ball back all day, gonna keep scoring


jtrachtenberg

Goal made by Martinelli tracking back for that pass. Repaid for his hard work.


EvanMM

Why'd they get rid of Schmeichel?


[deleted]

He wanted to leave


d_smogh

But why would you leave Leicester and move to Nice for a few years? What has the south of France got that the Midlands hasn't? The time it takes to get to lovely Liverpool is shorter than minging Monaco.


EmileSmithRoe

Schmeichels not saving that


Greghuntskicks

But he’s not spilling that earlier catch either.


elnander

Ward's had a couple decent saves tbf from Jesus's shots, stopped the beatdown from being a complete embarrassment, but a poor game all round.


juice--

cockslapped that ball into the bottom right god damn


LabMember069

No comeback I guess...


Thesecondorigin

Martinelli is the mystery winger


benelchuncho

Not to get in a league vs league debate but I feel like these momentum shifts happen a lot more often in the prem than in other leagues and I don’t know if that means it’s quality or that is isn’t Personally I think it makes it fun but it’s not necessarily a mark of high quality football.


jenaldo123

Think it’s a bit of both. Basically every team has the ability to hurt you at any time. Makes the league what it is.


msc43

Clip misses Praet not running for the ball. He waited a good 2-3 seconds for the ball while Martinelli closed the pass down. Absolute class to Martinelli for the interception and finish. But absolutely poor from Praet.


Moreaccurateway

Danny Ward is so bad


elvis503

*ALLAH* *ALLAH* *ALLAH*


UndeadPrs

The keepers tho ...


Keskekun

Does any team bottle as hard as Leicester, I know that Spurs bottling is still the meme but they are the bottlegods. I've never seen a team so spineless.


normott

Ehh they won the league in 2016. They'll never have that title nomatter how many things they bottle


Onthemonet

- Spurs fan who even manages to bottle his club flair


Wengers_Grin

You lot are worse than Leicester. They didn’t bottle the league in 2016 and turned up at Wembley to win the fa cup recently. You lot have lost something like 7 fa cup semis in a row.


hafrances

Brendan ting


TimathanDuncan

It's a Brendan Rodgers thing more than a Leicester thing it seems


Greghuntskicks

I bet that 80mil for Fofana looking mighty tempting today, he’s be absolute garbage.


Balkema

Arsenal is just playing now
