Arsenal 4 - 2 Leeds

 An Aubameyang hat trick and a rare Bellerin goal saw us through this really entertaining game.  Leeds fought back and potted two fine goals of their own, but another collapse like at Newcastle all those years ago was not to be.  (Diaby choking Joey Barton might have been worth the dropped points.)

No, this was a solid performance from the Gunners against a team that is hard to beat, and which was above them in the table before the game.  They could rise a few places before the end of the season.

We're playing Benfica in Rome on Thursday (stupid Covid).  The "home" leg will be in Athens!

Self-Destruct at Molineux

Damn it, Luiz!  We fell asleep as time expired in the first half and a winning position became a losing one in an instant.  Then I see (I stopped watching after the pen--I was sorry I turned it on) that Leno handled outside the area and he saw red too.  These are the times that try men's souls.  Or not.
