Ref tells Saka to hurry up and take the corner with stoppage time up. Saka does his usual slow-walk to run down the clock. The ref calmly waits, and the absolute second Saka gets into position? He blows for half-time.
Absolute cinema. Masterclass game management for a final.
Arsenal got so used to getting away with murder from Premier League refs that when someone actually enforces the rules, they think they’re being robbed.
Credit where it’s due tho, they played some demonic football to get here. But if PL refs weren't so intimidated by Arteta’s touchline tantrums and fooled by their theatrics, Arsenal wouldn’t be parading a PGMOL trophy today.
Justice served in Europe! 🫶🏼

JEFF POWELL: Arsenal's tainted title should be marked with an asterisk. No wonder conspiracy theories about the establishment favouring clubs are rife, given the outside help they've had https://t.co/57vL1QTfIf
Arsenal are the ONLY team to not have conceded a penalty or received a red card in the Premier League this season. 🔴⚪️
