Arsenal vs Monaco

Transcript

00:00Hi there everyone. Matchday 6 here in North London provides a genuine matchup.

00:09Arsenal against Monaco. Both on 10 points from their five games so far.

00:15Both looking for automatic qualification for the knockout stage.

00:19That's the finish in the top eight of course.

00:22The sense of equality emphasized by both being third in their respective domestic leagues.

00:27The Premier League for Arsenal, Ligue 1 for Monaco of course.

00:30And both have got 29 points.

00:36That's a great stadium here.

00:38And Arsenal looking to make the best use of it.

00:43The home record is very good.

00:45Straight away.

00:49Zagir.

00:50Come back aim for Odegaard but it's rather scuffed.

00:59But Odegaard's got on it again.

01:01And it's the way it's been going for Gabriel Jesus.

01:05It wasn't an easy angle.

01:07It was a bit tentative with the shot.

01:09And Majewski was able to feel it of course.

01:13Martinelli.

01:14Here's Marino Plenty in the middle.

01:17And it's just a millimetre or two.

01:21Away again from the stretching frustrated Gabriel Jesus.

01:28He was asked Arteta yesterday in the press conference about whether they were going to sell him in January.

01:33As he has been off the boil.

01:39The tangle too many cooks in there really for Arsenal.

01:42And what a good try.

01:44By Golovin.

01:45The Russian midfield player.

01:48There's Lurk on the box.

01:49And gets a number of goals from the edge of the penalty area.

01:52And he wasn't too far away from one here.

01:56Teenager instead.

01:57Here's Saka.

01:58Odegaard.

01:59He's probably finding a way for a shot when he can.

02:01But...

02:03Probably had an extra second.

02:04In that situation you can never be sure of that.

02:06If you lose the ball.

02:07The whole thing is wasted.

02:10Having shifted it there.

02:14And Scalio comes from Islington.

02:17Which is pretty much where we are tonight.

02:18He played the ball for Gabriel Jesus.

02:20Who's in the clear.

02:21What a good stop.

02:23Well that was.

02:24Really a golden opportunity.

02:26To end his goal drought.

02:30Here's Rice.

02:31Still...

02:33Pressure on Monaco.

02:39Rice again.

02:43Trying to find some...

02:45Gaps in this sort of position.

02:46Ahead of the man on the ball.

02:48See how...

02:50Well drilled.

02:51The Monagasks are.

02:52Usually a player there.

02:53As well as...

02:54Magasa.

02:55Deal with it.

02:56And Ben Sagir.

02:57Gets a goal kick out of it.

02:58Well...

02:59When they play short.

03:00The long one is the surprise ball really.

03:01What a great ball it was.

03:02Gabriel Jesus.

03:03One on one.

03:04The pass actually took the one out.

03:05So it was a super chance.

03:06And when you don't take these.

03:07You really do start to worry if your luck's ever going to turn.

03:08Well...

03:09Is he in again this time?

03:10Gabriel Jesus.

03:11Can he make this one count?

03:12Can he get there first?

03:13No.

03:14The list goes on.

03:15It was a ball he had to go for.

03:16The referee would recognize that.

03:17It broke loose.

03:18Took a piece from the goalkeeper.

03:19Inadvertently.

03:20The first touch was good.

03:21The other touches were good too.

03:23Good.

03:24The end.

03:27The end.

03:28Well.

03:29It's in again this time.

03:29Gabriel Jesus.

03:30Can he make this one count?

03:31Can he get there first?

03:32No.

03:33The list goes on.

03:34It was a ball he had to go for.

03:36The referee would recognize that.

03:38It broke loose.

03:39Took a piece from the goalkeeper.

03:41Inadvertently.

03:43The first touch was good.

03:45The other touches were good too.

03:49Good two, Kera played his part, and the goalkeeper did the rest.

03:55Looks it out, and he stole it then.

03:59Here's Gabriel Jesus, Saka must score, Saka does score.

04:0433 minutes gone.

04:07And it hasn't been an adventurous half an hour for Arsenal,

04:11but patience has paid off here.

04:14And Louis Skelly involved in the build-up.

04:19And they've scored from open play.

04:23And Bukayo Saka almost inevitably involved either a creator or a scorer,

04:29the latter this time.

04:33There's Louis Skelly's work, a forward pass.

04:39Bukayo Saka certainly onside, and he was too quick.

04:45For Bukayo Enrique, who's trying to get across.

04:51And Bukayo Saka knocks Arsenal into the lead here.

04:55And the fact that he's been booked might just go against him when the sub show.

04:59And Odegaard's away.

05:00Has he got the legs?

05:03If he has, he's surely got the finish.

05:05Well, he had the legs and not the finish.

05:08So twice, Jesus.

05:10And now Odegaard has sprung their way through.

05:14Magasa tried to find Keira.

05:17Odegaard was away.

05:19He knew what was around him.

05:23He was eyeing up the angles.

05:25Pulled it past the goalkeeper, but past the post.

05:28We often say that.

05:35And here is Martinelli and Arsenal are looking for it.

05:39Gabriel Jesus coming in.

05:41Oh, I mean an own goal.

05:43Salas who sorted his feet out in the nick of time.

05:47Kept it away from the back of his own net.

05:49But the Arsenal do have a corner.

05:55Still going.

05:58Still going.

06:00And it was the kind of angle that Gabriel Jesus had very early in the game.

06:06And again, trying for placement rather than risking a real blast at goal.

06:12Putting it on target is the main thing.

06:14But it made it a pretty comfortable save for Raya.

06:19For that.

06:21Saliba Minamino.

06:23And Balogu, can he spin and shoot?

06:24He has done.

06:26And he didn't quite get the bearings right.

06:29But it's just another indication of how better Monaco have been in this second half.

06:35So different.

06:37The Arsenal need to find a way out of this.

06:40The best way is to try and get a second goal.

06:43He's brought on to sharpen up the approach.

06:49Oh, that's Salisu.

06:54That's a mistake.

06:56That's Koften the game.

06:57Saka's second.

06:59Arsenal bounce.

07:01They haven't played well in the second half.

07:03But this is a chance that was gifted to them.

07:08Confusion between keeper and defender.

07:12Maetski and Salisu.

07:15But nothing confused in the mind of Bukayo Saka.

07:18How often we see this these days.

07:22Of course, it's part of the modern game, but that isn't.

07:27Habits intercepted.

07:29Salisu can't have seen Habits coming.

07:33And then...

07:36The roof fell in on Monaco.

07:39Quick kick taken quickly and that might have caught Monaco out.

07:43Is it going to drop for Saka?

07:44It's Marino.

07:45Saka can line up.

07:47And it's gone in, I think, of Kai Havertz.

07:49He's claiming it anyway.

07:52It's three for Arsenal.

07:53Unless there's a deflection in there, it's an assist for Saka to go with the two goals.

08:03He's notching up these mega stats, multi-stats in the same game.

08:10Kera was a...

08:13a concerned captain.

08:17And the margin that really perhaps should have been at half-time is now.

08:24Trossard and Marino.

08:30Suggestion of offside.

08:35Certainly some appeals from Monaco.

08:39Verification of the goal.

08:41Nice to have it in the language of the away team as well.

08:48And it's given.

08:50If he looks at his watch.

08:58Arsenal have done the job.

09:00Not quite as straightforwardly as the scoreline suggests.

09:03Mikel Arteta's team were wasteful in the first half when they picked up a...

09:09a 1-0 lead.

09:10It took them the best part of 35 minutes to get that.

09:13A number of really guilt-hose chances came and went.

09:16And at the start of the second half, Monaco were...

09:20much, much better.

09:22And threatened Arsenal's position.

09:23And tonight again where Bukayo Saka has the stats stacking up alongside his name.

09:31And Kai Havertz sent on by Arteta to, as it turned out, wrap up the victory.

09:38So, Arsenal moving upwards.

09:41With 13 points now.

09:43After Matchday 6 has finished.

09:46Arsenal 3, Monaco 0.

09:47.

09:48.

09:49.

09:50.

09:51.

09:52.
