WE HUFF, WE PUFF, TORREIRA SCORES FOR US

After two good performances in their previous two outings against Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United, Arsenal seemed to have lost their edge as they were pushed to the limit by Huddersfield Town tonight.



The visitors came with a game plan that was to put pressure on Arsenal from the beginning and it somehow succeeded as The Gunners could not impose themselves on the visitors.

As always, Unai Emery did his tinkering at the interval but still the home side were continuously frustrated as they could not find the inspiration to break down the resolute Huddersfield defence.

That was until seven minutes from time when Matteo Guendouzi's pass found Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang inside the box. Having seen his shot blocked, the Gambian international lifted the ball for Torreira to score in a spectacular fashion.

The win pushed Arsenal unbeaten run to 21 matches in all competition and temporarily to third place of the Premier League table.
