Leeds 0-0 Arsenal (0-0)
Check out the situation in the window in the upper part!
Six minutes after the break, the game was stopped. The VAR intervened after seeing Nicolas Pépé take down Leeds Ezgjan Alioski in connection with an attack by Arsenal. The Leeds defender went to the ground and hit his face.
Judge Anthony Taylor ran to the bench to see the situation on the screen and it wasn’t long before he got the red card.
– That’s extremely stupid, says TV 2 commentator Espen Ween.
– Yes, that is terribly stupid about Pépé. It probably didn’t hurt much and Alioski is overdoing it a lot and I like it a lot too. But it is Pépé who causes it. Pepé does it in an idiotic way, but again, Alioski is exaggerating, says TV 2 expert commentator Nils Johan Semb, adding:
– Pépé gives the referee the opportunity to get the red card and you can only thank Nicolas Pépé. And then it has become even more difficult for the club and the team. Pépé’s idiotic act.
– The club has been a big mess in recent years.
– It’s almost completely incomprehensible when you know that you can capture all those situations. Gravity can be argued, but it gives the referee every chance to get the red card and he does too, sums up Semb.
This is Arsenal’s fifth red card since Arteta was hired by the club. It is mainly in the Premier League.
Kept zero with ten men
Despite having to play ten against eleven in almost a full day, Arsenal managed to resist an offense from Leeds.
– Arsenal have been very good tactically after being sent off and have made it difficult for Leeds. So they have also dared to counter when the opportunity has presented itself, says Semb.
But it was the hosts who came closest to scoring in the match and during the second half Rodrigo had shots off the crossbar, while Patrick Bamford headed off the post. In overtime, he slammed into metal once more, this time from Raphinha.
Box with damage
In extra time, Bukayo Saka was left behind after a duel with Alioski. He received treatment on the field, but had to leave.
