Pundit full of admiration for stubborn Town

the break - [Alex] Pritchard had a decent chance to out them 1-0 up which he spooned over the bar a little bit, but it was seven minutes from the end when Arsenal eventually got the breakthrou­gh. “All credit to Aubameyang brilliant touch in the box. “I think it was [Matteo] Guendouzi who just clipped the ball into the box to the back post and he’s up off both feet, he’s taken the ball under control in mid-air. “He’s gone to get his shot off and it’s got blocked, but the ball has only travelled a couple of yards towards the touchline and he manages to dink a little cross back across goal and six yards out, Torreira is in acres of space. “Great technique for the overhead kick and the keeper had absolutely no chance. “You felt a little bit for Huddersfie­ld for all their hard work and good defending was just undone towards the end.” Nine players were booked during the Premier League outing, with three Arsenal men going in the book for simulation. On the cards awarded during the match, Le Tissier continued: “It was strange because it wasn’t a particular­ly dirty football match. “Three of the yellows were for diving and then it got a little bit fiery with a couple of challenges before half time – a couple of Huddersfie­ld challenges that Arsenal weren’t happy about.”
