If Arsenal is losing, then only in the championship and to serious rivals such as Liverpool (1:3), Man City and Leicester (the score in both matches 0:1). In the Europa League, Mikel Arteta’s charges have not had any big problems. However, there were troubles. In Vienna, against Rapid they had to tinker a lot, because until the middle of the second half the Gunners acted as catch-ups. First, the standard came to the rescue: David Luis played well with his head in the penalty area and leveled the score and after another four minutes Aubameyang completed a magnificent attack with an accurate shot, as a result the score was 2:1. The situation with Dundalk was much simpler. Goals from Nketia, Willock and Pepe with an interval of four minutes brought the club three points.
The Colorado Rapids are below the playoff zone, being two points behind the eighth Vancouver. True, they can climb much higher, gaining points in the remaining rounds fairly consistently. In general, the sky blues play well, only fickle. They can beat San Jose 5:0 and then concede 4 unanswered goals from Kansas. Victories and failures alternate regularly. In the last meetings, there was a defeat for Minnesota and a victory over the third Seattle.
