Arsenal clawed back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with champions Liverpool at Anfield. This was about Arsenal’s resilience, but their sluggish first half and defensive frailties nearly cost them dearly.

Despite a disjointed start-deflated after their Champions League exit-Arsenal showed character after halftime. Martinelli’s header sparked hope, and Merino’s rebound finish leveled the score. Yet, defensive lapses and Merino’s late red card left Arsenal hanging on, with Odegaard almost snatching a winner in stoppage time.

Liverpool’s early dominance and Gakpo’s opener exposed Arsenal’s back line, and Diaz’s quick follow-up left the Gunners reeling. But Arsenal’s fightback, even with ten men, halted Liverpool’s celebrations and extended their unbeaten away run, though doubts linger over their top-five finish hopes.

While Martinelli’s sharpness and Merino’s impact offered positives, Arsenal's inconsistency in big moments persists. Liverpool, meanwhile, saw a party atmosphere soured by a late disallowed goal. Now an even bigger challenge is upon as we could potentially lose 3 players in addition - Merino suspension and Trossard and Rice injury doubts. 

Let's say a prayer for this team and hope for the best. Hoping for some more good news…until then —Up The Arsenal!

Declan Rice, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Ødegaard all came agonizingly close, but it was the hosts who struck first-Fabián Ruiz’s deflected rocket leaving David Raya helpless and deepening Arsenal’s mountain to climb.

The second half saw Raya briefly revive hope, denying Vitinha from the penalty spot, but PSG’s Achraf Hakimi soon dashed those dreams with a ruthless finish to double the lead. Still, the Gunners refused to wilt. Bukayo Saka pulled one back, and moments later blazed over with the goal at his mercy, as Arsenal pushed desperately for a miracle that never came.

The final whistle brought devastation, but also pride. Arsenal’s young side fought until the end, showing the heart and belief that defines this club. They leave Paris with heads held high, knowing they stood toe-to-toe with Europe’s elite. This is the Arsenal-brave, relentless, and always dreaming.

Arsenal slumped to a dispiriting 2-1 defeat at home to Bournemouth, surrendering a precious lead that left the Emirates crowd in stunned silence. The  lack of  defensive grit saw them punished, as Bournemouth claimed their first-ever win at Arsenal. Quite unbelievable.

But then second half unraveled for Arsenal. Bournemouth equalized and minutes later, Evanilson bundled home the second goal  completing their turnaround victory. Arsenal pressed for an equalizer, but their attacks fizzled out mainly with little fight displayed.

Declan Rice was a rare bright spot, capping a tireless display in midfield. But Arsenal’s attacking rhythm faltered, and defensive lapses proved costly. The team’s confidence visibly drained after conceding, and by the final whistle, many already turned their thoughts to the looming Champions League semi-final second leg in Paris.

PSG squandered chances to extend their lead, with Bradley Barcola and Gonçalo Ramos and Joao Neves wasting gilt-edged opportunities, but Arsenal’s attacking struggles persisted as their final-third precision deserted them.  

Declan Rice battled tirelessly in midfield, orchestrating transitions and delivering dangerous set pieces, while Lewis-Skelly’s fearless dribbling and vision offered glimmers of promise. Saliba anchored the backline admirably, limiting PSG’s threats after the early goal, but the lack of cutting edge up front proved costly.

Palace, meanwhile, demonstrated why they remain a dangerous opponent under Oliver Glasner, with Eze’s technical quality and Mateta’s opportunistic strike highlighting their attacking threat. The draw offered a timely confidence boost ahead of their Wembley showdown with Aston Villa.

As the Emirates faithful digest another missed opportunity, it would only be for a short while. Now, the challenge shifts to Europe—where a season-defining test against PSG awaits.

However, Brentford responded just 13 minutes later; capitalized on a defensive lapse, hooking in an equalizer that stole our joy. Despite late pressure from Arsenal, including a near-miss from Bukayo Saka and a deflected cross from Gabriel Martinelli, we couldn’t find a winner.
