Handbrake Off: The Athletic FC's Arsenal show

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal’s cathartic last minute 2-1 victory against Newcastle at St. James’s Park. 

The panel discuss the significance of the victory, Arteta’s attacking approach to the game amidst recent narratives of setting up negatively, and the standout performances of Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice and Mikel Merino amongst others. 

There’s analysis of the controversial refereeing decisions, praise for Martin Odegaard’s cameo, and love for the limbs in the away end. 

There’s also chat about the significance of William Saliba’s new 5-year contract, a look ahead to Arsenal’s Champions League match against Olympiacos at The Emirates on Wednesday, and a tribute to former Arsenal academy forward Billy Vigar who sadly passed away last week.
