This one no be small wahala! Arsenal and Manchester United play 0-0 yesterday at the Emirates Stadium but e no go sweet for Gunners fans because dem dey expect better. Dem get chance to score plenty goals, but wetin happen? Na only frustration follow dem as United dey hold their ground even with 10 players!
Make I break am down for una. First half na Arsenal dey control the match, but dem no fit find the back of net. Fridolina Rolfo try small show with header but na the crossbar be the catch. United dey play sharp defense, guided by Phallon Tullis-Joyce wey dey hold dem down. Things hot for Arsenal as dem dey heap shots, but at the end, na only 6 shots on target dem fit gather. No be joke oh!
Then the real drama come when Jayde Riviere of Manchester United collect second yellow card. E come turn 10-vs-11. Everybody yan say na advantage for Arsenal to show wetin dem fit do. But as dem say, sometimes e hard to play against 10-man defence. United players sabi how to structure demself well, and dem show am as dem defend like lion!
Renee Slegers, Arsenal boss, don drop some hot gist after the match. E talk say dem dominate but the part wey dey pain am be say dem no fit convert dem chances. E say dem get good ideas for the match but na the ball no eager enter net! Meanwhile, Marc Skinner, United manager, dey praise im girls as dem show strong spirit to grab that point. E talk say dem give Arsenal plenty wahala and na by unity dem make am!
Players like Alessia Russo and Kim Little try small but dem meet strong resistance. And e no dey surprise say Arsenal fans dey vex after the match because dem dey expect better results for home. Neither team wey dey fight for top position fit afford to drop points like this!
As the league dey chook neck for the top four position, Arsenal sit down third while United dey fourth with just one point difference. Every point dey important as dem dey eye Champions League position. Arsenal don dey carry their minds go FA Cup next week, make we see if dem fit bounce back. United too dey prepare for dem own cup match against Burnley next.
At the end of the day, both teams fit carry one point, but the Gunners sure wan run am back when dem face them again for the semi-finals of the Subway Cup next week. Dem fit shine for that match, we hope so!
