## Resource

In this episode I'm joined first by Andrew Allen in my Lisbon hotel room to chat about Arsenal's 1-0 win over Sporting on Tuesday evening. We discuss the team line-up, a first half that wasn't exactly replete with chances but which saw the Gunners rediscover some of their identity after a shaky start and a big moment from David Raya. There were second half changes, more great goalkeeping, and as the game looked like it was headed for a draw, a fantastic goal cooked up by Gabriel Martinelli and finished by Kai Havertz won us the game. We also talk about Raya as a potential player of the season, the Martinelli in Europe v Martinelli in the Premier League, how the team needed that big moment after recent defeats, the prospect of another Champions League semi-final, the match-day experience in the stands, and more.
