Furthermore, the number of 9 goals / 9 rounds since the start of the 2020/21 Premier League is Arsenal’s worst achievement in the last 34 years.

It’s not that Sinyan came in with a shot from a few meters in a corner, but instead of getting into the net, he passed the goal. confusing way.

As if he wanted to “redeem himself”, Pepe played very well in Arsenal’s attack. He actively finished and actively created for his teammates, but the final effect was limited. After about 2/3 of the playing time of the first half, Molde played even more and had a fair fight. However, neither team turned the chance into a goal.

At the beginning of the second half, even Nicolás Pepe, after some stages of driving, threw a cut on his left foot from a distance of more than 18 meters. The ball flew dangerously, leaving goalkeeper Linde in his hand but was unable to fight the crossbar. In the end, however, the luck of the goal also came to Pepe.
