On the evening of October 30, Beijing time, the 10th round of the Premier League, Gabriel opened 4 minutes to break the deadlock, Smith Rowe expanded the score, Arsenal beat Leicester City 2-0, achieving two consecutive league wins, while unbeaten in 7 consecutive games, points against Manchester United.
In the first nine rounds, Leicester City and Arsenal were both 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, and the two teams accumulated 14 points, the former ranked 9th and the latter ranked 10th! However, the two teams are only three points away from fourth-placed West Ham United, so there is no distance between them and the Champions League zone.
In order to play this game well, both sides played their main force, and Arsenal's Lacazette and Aubameyang both started. As a result, Arsenal were superior, winning 2-0 and taking all three points from the opponent's home field.
This 2-0 allowed Arsenal to achieve two consecutive wins against Leicester City and reach 5th place in the table with 17 points, one step away from the Champions League zone, while leaving the Red Devils United behind.
Imagine that in the first three rounds of the season, Arsenal lost consecutively, and after a wave of three consecutive defeats, it was reduced to the bottom of the first place, and was regarded as the worst giant in the Premier League. Manchester United, on the other hand, had 7 points from 2 wins and 1 draw, and was once in second place in the table. At that time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was so energetic that he even wanted to compete for the title, and Arteta was on the verge of leaving class.
However, in the last seven rounds of matches, Arsenal have rebounded strongly, and the Premier League 3 champions have won 5 wins and 2 draws to remain unbeaten, scoring a total of 17 points. Manchester United went crazy to drop the chain, recording only 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, losing a full 13 points. In the last game, Manchester United lost 5-0 at home to Liverpool, setting a record for the biggest defeat of the double red club and sliding to 6th in the table.
In just 35 days, the fate of the two teams has been reversed, and it is the turn of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's coaching position to be in turmoil, even if he does not leave class, there is not much time left for him to prove, if he cannot win the game against Tottenham, Solskjaer is likely to be fired.
It is worth mentioning that Arteta said in an interview that he understands Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's situation very well, because at the beginning of the season he was also on the verge of graduation. But now, Arteta says he's happy and looks forward to Arsenal's continued improvement.
