The lower teams have got a high level of fitness and tactical awareness when they're playing, and the general intensity of the games in England tend to be higher than the French league, maybe because the gap isn't as big between the very top team and the very bottom team. The pass for Sadio Mane's equaliser at City, two goals and an assist against United, and another crucial role for the breakthrough against Everton.

One source revealed that in an ideal world, Julian Nagelsmann would walk into the club this summer, but there is a realisation that he would not swap Bayern Munich until he could move to a stable Premier League option, primed to lift silverware. Arsenal's fans had stayed right with them and frustration only surfaced towards the end but once Jota scored again there was a rush for the exits. They knew the game was up, as did their players.

The visitors pressed for an equaliser in the closing stages of what proved to be an hour-long second period, but on-loan Brighton forward Connolly fired over from a tight angle before Crooks somehow missed the best chance of the night.
