Week 5: Washington Huskies at Rutgers Scarlet Knights
The Washington Huskies lost their first official road game as a member of the Big Ten conference. They were beaten by Rutgers University, 21-18. It was again an ugly performance by Jedd Fisch’s team, marred by penalties, a lack of execution and undisciplined football. The most costly play happened with about 30 seconds left in the first half when UW blocked a Rutgers field goal, but were flagged for a…

Matchday 5: Arsenal at Manchester City
Mikel Arteta and Arsenal came agonizingly close to pulling off a sensational 2-1 victory over Manchester City, while playing the 2nd half down a man after Leandro Trossard picked up his 2nd yellow colliding with Bernardo Silva, possibly not hearing referee Michael Oliver’s whistle and kicking the ball away. It’s wild Arsenal had another post-whistle incident after the Declan Rice mess just a couple of weeks back. Going down to…

Champions League Matchday 1: Arsenal at Atalanta
Arsenal begin their Champions League campaign with a 0-0 draw against Atalanta in Bergamo, Italy. The London-based side were their normally solid self in defense with David Raya making a world-class double save when he stopped striker Mateo Retegui’s penalty and subsequent rebound header. It saved the point for the Gunners, who were incredibly flat going forward. They had very little creative juice in attack after Mikel Arteta reveled Martin…
