Arsenal Fans In Nigeria Going Crazy Celebrating Is Why We Love Soccer

Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool was an engrossing match on Saturday. But don’t take our word for it, take it from these Nigerian Arsenal fans.

Liverpool remained unbeaten in the Premier League and Arsenal kept its 14-match unbeaten streak in all competitions alive as the two English giants battled to an entertaining draw. James Milner scored the opener in the 61st minute and for a while it appeared the Reds (in purple) would go on to score a big road win.

Alexandre Lacazette’s Stunning Goal Earns Arsenal Draw Against Liverpool

It could easily be argued that LaLiga is the best soccer league in the world, but there’s just something about big matchups in the Premier League that can’t be touched. Aside from El Clásico, Top 6 battles in the EPL thrill like nothing else in world domestic football, and as these Arsenal vs Liverpool highlights show, Saturday’s meeting between the second- and fourth-place teams was no different.

Ultimately, it ended in a 1-1 draw, but the match was breathtaking from start to finish, with a stunning goal from Alexandre Lacazette evening out James Milner’s smashing opener.

The Amount Of Power In Granit Xhaka’s Left Foot Will Astound You

Arsenal’s 11-game winning run came to an end Sunday following a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Luka Milivojevic scored twice from the spot for the home side, while Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were in on the goals for the Gunners.

After Crystal Palace had taken the lead just before halftime, Arsenal answered through Xhaka in the 51st. Yes, the 26-year-old Swiss has a left foot like a hammer. 

Arsenal’s second was pretty special, too. Alex Lacazette provided a Hand of God moment in the buildup.

Mesut Ozil Produces 80 Minutes Of Filth, Including A Goal That’ll Butter Your Biscuit

Did you watch the goal above? He does that more often than most, doesn’t he? With his languid, cerebral, hyper technical, pass-first-shoot-later style, Mesut Ozil scores sublime goals that ooze sensibility and ease but register a 10/10 on the difficulty scale.

As a Newcastle fan, I can instantly remember the times he’s done as much to the Premier League’s current cellar dwellers. Last December, he looped an audacious effort into the roof of the net when the danger seemed to be cleared.

Mesut Özil Launches Twitch Streaming Career, Wins Victory Royale With Arsenal Teammate

Back in another life, when I was a sports writer for a daily newspaper, I spent a weekend on holiday at the PAX South gaming convention in San Antonio. At an after-hours party at a nearby bar I met a girl who had just reached a milestone as a Twitch streamer and was quite proud of herself. 

When I told her what I did for a living, she responded: “Oh, so I’m kind of like email and you’re kind of like snail mail.”
