My people, make I gist una wetin happen for Premier League as Arsenal don dey shine like star this Christmas.
Dem beat Brighton 2-1 to reclaim dem number one position wey dem dey fight for since. But e no come easy at all o! Injury wahala dey follow the Gunners like shadow. Before the match, one player no fit play, and another one wahala land during warm-up. Na so dem use make-shift formation take play.
As dem dey play, Martin Ødegaard open the score with correct 20-yard shot wey everybody don dey wait for since May. Na him set the stage for Arsenal. But just when dem think say e go soft, Brighton come use one of dem own goal turn am to 2-0. Na wetin dem call ‘comfy afternoon’ be this? E turn frenzy instead!
Brighton no gree relax! Dem hit post, and before you know am, dem don score, everybody dey shout ‘wetin dey happen?’ Arsenal sef don freeze small for that moment, but goalkeeper David Raya dey ready. He save one wicked strike wey fit change the game.
Even as Arsenal manage win, dem struggle like wetin dem dey find. Gaffar Mikel Arteta dey try control di tension for stadium. E no wan make dem forget the reason why dem dey play ball. Dem don get issues for scoring, e be like dem dey fear to score easy goals wey go seal wins.
As Arsenal dey ride this rollercoaster, dem need to hold dem heads high. Arteta talk say gunners fit win if dem fit align dem players back on ground. Action dey ahead as dem go face Aston Villa next. But Villa don sabi how to steal points from dem in past matches. Na point wey dem go need to watch.
One important point wey Arteta make be say, dem go continue to dey fight hard. Di energy wey dey for di team dey show say dem fit carry this title home, but no be so easy. Five tough months dey ahead, and we pray dem no go tire.
But what of Manchester City for di title race? E go profile hot this Christmas, because di league title matter no be play play. Arsenal dey battle hard, but dem go need more than luck to carry di day, especially with how injury dey scatter plans.
So my fellow football fans, wetin you think? Arsenal sabi hustle, but dem fit keep di momentum or dem go mess am up again? Time go tell. Na so e be for now, as we dey grip our beers and watch di beautiful game!
