Handbrake Off: The Athletic FC's Arsenal show
High tension squared
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal’s 2-1 win against Chelsea at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The panel reflect on the game being a painful watch, struggling to see out the final minutes, the lack of ruthlessness, the hurdles to overcome when trying to get over the line for the first time, needing the courage to continue to attack when defending a lead, whether Rice and Zubimendi need a rest, missing Odegaard’s security on the ball, Hincapie continuing to improve and Raya’s magnificent performance to ensure victory.
Plus, they look ahead to Brighton away on Wednesday, chat about the Champions League draw and respond to some listener messages.
