The Thing About Arsenal

That game was Street Fighter, UFC and Saving Private Ryan all rolled into one. So how did Arsenal come out with all three points and a clean sheet? Two answers straight away: David Raya and Bruno Guimarães.

Luke and Jonny tuck into a brilliant match where Sunderland threw everything and Brian Brobbey at us, but couldn't breakthrough. We relive that stunning Guimarães goal, analyse the size of Mikel Arteta's penalty area, and share some very minor concerns about Bukayo Saka's profligacy in front of goal. Come join us!

Elsewhere, Jonny has an extremely troubling confession about Martin Ødegaard, we ask if any rest key players will – or should – be rested for a tough assignment on Tyneside, and a listener gets in touch about their lifesize cardboard cutout of Mikel Arteta. You read that right...
