Arsenal Manager, Arsene Wenger Has Come Out to Vent out Anger at His Players Despite Recording a 3-0 Win Against Stoke city.
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has said he was not happy with his side’s lack of Urgency, Pace and Drive against Stoke City in the first half of their 3-0 win on Sunday.
Wenger’s players were booed off at the break with the scores at 0-0 after a lacklustre 45 minutes.
However, they opened scoring in the 75th minute through a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty.The Gabon striker added a second in the 86th minute, before substitute Alexandre Lacazette added a third from the spot.
“Stoke played well. And secondly we didn’t play well in the first half, at all. We lacked urgency, pace and drive,” Wenger told a news conference.
“In the second half we rectified that. As much as I felt in the first half we could lose this game, in the second half I always felt we will win this game.That is the difference basically of the attitude of the team.Paul Pogba scored twice as Manchester United produced a stunning second-half fightback at the Etihad Stadium, preventing Manchester City from clinching the Premier League title with a 3-2 victory.
Pep Guardiola’s side appeared on course to be crowned champions with a record six games to spare when they eased into a 2-0 half-time lead.
Vincent Kompany’s powerful header broke the deadlock before Ilkay Gundogan spun away from Nemanja Matic to double the home side’s lead five minutes later.
Yet City crucially failed to land the knockout blow, allowing United to climb off the canvas after the break and make sure their rivals have to wait to secure the trophy for a third time in the Premier League era.

Chris Smalling volleyed home the winner in the 69th minute, handing City a second straight defeat following their 3-0 Champions League reverse at Liverpool on Wednesday. Raheem Sterling hit the post and David De Gea saved superbly from Sergio Aguero in a frantic last five minutes.That explains 0-0 at half-time and 3-0 after the game,” he added.
