GUNNERS LEAVE IT LATE…AGAIN!

-

ARSENAL needed yet another second-half surge to secure their 1-0 victory against Huddersfie­ld.

The Gunners are yet to lead at half-time in any of their 16 matches this season and sit second from bottom in the ‘first-half’ table, having gone into the break level 12 times and behind on four occasions.

Unai Emery has responded with 14 substituti­ons before the start of the second half, more than any other side this term, and he did the same again at the Emirates taking off both defender Stephan Lichtstein­er and striker Alexandre Lacazette at the break.

Arsenal have scored the most goals via substitute­s (8) of any team this season but it was starter Lucas Torreira who sealed the win with a majestic overhead kick.
