Gunners show heart, don’t follow through as hot keeper prepares Arsenal
It stings on many levels.
Arsenal, the favorites in the Premier League, were in the lead with Sporting half an hour before the end, and they just needed to cross the line to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Then came the impeccable genius of Pedro Goncalves, who crossed Aaron Ramsdale from over 45, maybe 50 yards from the net. 1:1 in the 62nd minute.
Arsenal were not only in danger of being eliminated from the competition; The Gunners are now facing the possibility of extra time and 120 rather than 90 minutes for some of their players ahead of Sunday’s Premier League visit from Crystal Palace. Gabriel Magalhaes, Granit Xhaka, Gabriel Martinelli, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ramsdale went 120 minutes.
And there’s the psychological side: Arsenal put their hearts into it and it was clear from the exhortations of Martin Odegaard’s replacement at the Emirates Stadium that the Gunners were very concerned about winning any offer.
But they will also look at the xG numbers – 1.89-1.18 – and feel like they missed a chance. Arsenal were given four “big chances” by FotMob against just one for Sporting but lost 15–13 and lost at home.
They are a strong group and we saw how the Gunners rallied after the loss to Man City, and after the failure in the first leg, left for Sporting. However, Mikel Arteta has a significant couple of days ahead of him.
Player ratings Arsenal – Sporting Lisbon: stars of the show
Antonio Adam: Seven saves at 2.31 xGOT were the goalkeeper of the Lisbon “Sporting”.
Pedro Gonçalves: He had four shot attempts, but the victory over Aaron Ramsdale in Lisbon was special.
Granite Xhaka: It’s not just a goal that was driven by a desire to chase the ball into the box, as the longtime Arsenal leader grabbed 12 rebounds and won 16 of 22 tackles.
What’s next?
Arsenal host Crystal Palace at 10:00 AM ET on Sunday, while Sporting Lisbon is closed until the training break.
