In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss the 1-0 win against Manchester City in the Premier League.



Just when it looked like a dismal sequence of 15 games without a league win against City was about to continue, Arsenal came up with another moment of late drama at Emirates Stadium that may yet be seen as one of the most significant moments in Arteta's time as manager if it has the galvanising impact it should have.



Four minutes remained, the main storyline looking like it would be yet another video assistant referee controversy. This time the debate was around how referee Michael Oliver somehow allowed Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic to remain on the pitch after a nasty scrape down the back of Martin Odegaard's ankle that brought a yellow card, followed by another poor challenge on Declan Rice shortly after that brought nothing - It should have brought Kovacic's early departure.



And then came that decisive moment. Gabriel Martinelli, excellent after appearing as a substitute at the start of the second half, fired in a shot in optimism that suddenly had the perfect outcome, deflecting off Nathan Ake past the stranded Ederson.



The stadium erupted in joy, scenes repeated when four minutes of stoppage time were over and Oliver sounded the final whistle.



Arsenal have got over a line that always seemed tantalisingly out of reach. We have won in the league against City after those 15 winless games in the past eight years, which included 12 straight losses.

In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss how French side RC Lens came from behind to shock Arsenal in the Champions League.



The below-par Gunners rode some early pressure from Lens before Gabriel Jesus claimed a 14th-minute opener from a through-ball from Bukayo Saka, who then sadly went off injured.



Lens levelled 11 minutes later as Adrien Thomasson curled a superb finish into the far corner as a resuly of a David Raya mistake.



As Arsenal suffered their first loss of the season on a difficult night, they suffered another blow before Sunday's crunch Premier League meeting with Manchester City as England forward Saka went off after just 33 minutes.



Wahi's first-time finish into the bottom left corner from a Przemyslaw Frankowski cross in the 69th minute saw the home side seal a notable success.



If we are being honest, Lens were worthy of a win that took them to the top of Group B on four points, with Mikel Arteta's side second on three thanks to a draw in the other evenings fixture.



Sloppy in defence, Arsenal struggled to create clear-cut chances. Arsenal will look to bounce back in the Champions League when they travel to Sevilla in three weeks' time, while Lens host PSV.

In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss how Arsenal thrashed Bournemouth 4 goals to 0. Kai Havertz scored his first goal for Arsenal with a penalty as we comfortably beat winless Bournemouth in the Premier League at Vitality Stadium.



Havertz, who has struggled since arriving from Chelsea in the summer, converted the second of two Gunners penalties to ensure their third consecutive away victory.



Bukayo Saka opened the scoring, heading in the rebound from Gabriel Jesus' effort and Martin Odegaard scored a penalty to give Mikel Arteta's side a comfortable lead at the break.



The Gunners' dominance continued into the second half, and after Havertz scored, Ben White headed home from Odegaard's free-kick in added time to add gloss to a comprehensive victory for Arsenal.



We also discuss the rather embarrassing PGMOL moments in the days evening fixture Tottenham v Liverpool.

In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss how Arsenal secured their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round as Reiss Nelson’s early goal clinched a battling 1-0 win over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.



Nelson finished coolly in the eighth minute following a misplaced pass from Brentford defender Zanka, with Mikel Arteta's much-changed team then holding off a second-half rally from the hosts.



The Bees went closest through Yoann Wissa, who saw a low strike brilliantly pushed onto the post by Aaron Ramsdale, back in goal for Arsenal for the first time since losing his place to David Raya.



Jakub Kiwior then pulled off a goal-line block from substitute Lewis Keane-Potter as Arsenal withstood more late Brentford pressure to ensure a winning response to their north London derby draw with Tottenham which sets up a trip to West Ham in the next round.

We ran riot, with Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus getting on the scoresheet in the first half.

Martin Odegaard added a fourth in the second half as the Gunners cruised to their first Champions League win of the season.

It was the perfect platform from which to leap into the weekend's North London derby against rivals Tottenham which we also discuss.

In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we talk about the HUGE 3-1 win vs Manchester Utd. Arsenal scored twice in stoppage time to secure a dramatic victory over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.
In a chaotic finale to a largely scrappy game, Man United first thought they had snatched three points only to see Alejandro Garnacho's 88th-minute finish ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee with the score 1-1.
The drama then switched to the other end in eight added minutes as Declan Rice's deflected shot gave Arsenal the lead before substitute Gabriel Jesus raced clear to wrap up the win as the stadium exploded in elation.
United had taken the lead in the 27th minute when Christian Eriksen's pass played in Marcus Rashford, who cut inside to send an unerring right-foot drive past Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The Gunners, who had already spurned a golden chance when the struggling Kai Havertz miskicked with the goal at his mercy, were level almost instantly when captain Martin Odegaard was given too much space and sent an emphatic finish into the bottom corner.
In an encounter that rarely hit the heights despite lots of effort, Arsenal - who had seen a penalty over-turned by the VAR after referee Anthony Taylor originally ruled Havertz had been fouled - missed a glorious late opportunity when Bukayo Saka shot straight at Andre Onana.
United saw celebrations cut short with two minutes left when substitute Garnacho raced clear to score, but the VAR ruled he was just offside - opening the door for Arsenal to produce two devastating blows.
Arsenal put us through the emotional wringer before sheer joy swept around Emirates Stadium at the sound of Taylor's final whistle.
