Another win for Arsenal means they have now gone 21 games unbeaten, but it wasn’t easy. Following the two massive match-ups against Tottenham and Manchester United, something seemed to be missing against Huddersfield. That something looked to be energy and spark.
More so against Tottenham, the players looked as up for as any game in recent memory. However, it’d be fair to suggest that and the midweek draw and United took a lot out of them.
