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 theyโre being robbed.
Credit where itโs due tho, they played some demonic football to get here. But if PL refs weren't so intimidated by Artetaโs touchline tantrums and fooled by their theatrics, Arsenal wouldnโt be parading a PGMOL trophy today.
Justice served in Europe! ๐ซถ๐ผ
