Arsecast Extra Episode 448 - 20.12.2021

In this episode we discuss the 4-1 win over Leeds on Saturday evening. They might have been poor, but what we did was still impressive, with three goals and a record number of attempts on target in the first half. There's discussion of the continuing emergence of Gabriel Martinelli after his two goal salvo, his reintroduction to the team of late, and developmental work behind the scenes. We also chat about Martin Odegaard, another great cameo from Smith Rowe, the penalty we conceded, as well as listener questions about our recent form, the importance of Takehiro Tomiyasu, Rob Holding reporting racist abuse, Aaron Ramsdale winding up Leeds fans with his celebrations and lots more.
