Beating ManUre

My wife and I spent yesterday out of the home for a lot of the day.  We had lunch with friends and I watched the Arsenal game there.  Afterwards my wife rested while I went to the pub quiz where I relaxed and had a few drinks.

When it came to the Arsenal game, the score does not reflect the game.  It was a tight thing and we could have easily lost.  In fact, Tony, whom I was watching the game with, said that he thought a point was a good result before ManUre scored what turned out of be an offside goal (only just).  I felt that with the way ManUre organised themselves, it was either going to take a break, luck or Jesus running through the crowd of players to unlock the game.  Normally Saka would do that, but I think that our draw last week where he gave away possession may have affected his confidence. ManUre marked Martin Ødegaard for much of the game and he showed what happens when he is allowed space near the opposing goal. 

Anyway, considering that I did not think that we would get a result, three points is much appreciated!
