Amazing win last night, can't stress how important it was to win the cup and get that EL money instantly.
Little bit about the game itself, terrible first 20 minutes but after the drinks break Arteta really showed his strenght and got the team playing again. After that it was all Arsenal in the first half. Second half we were still in control but allowed Chelsea to come more. They didn't really have any chances but I must say that the sending off for Kovacic was very very harsh.
Chelsea had the worst luck with injuries last night, Pulisic was unplayable for most of the time, Azpi was a leader figure down and Pedro might have broken his transfer to Roma now unfortantly.
happy for your guys, was rooting for them, auba is such a beast.
that said, kovacic's sending off was not harsh, it was straight bs. both yellows were, if anything, fouls from xhaka, and there also was a clear foul in the build up to auba's amazing 2nd goal. i'm not saying it was an undeserved win, because overall i don't think it was, but there were some key situations (ref / injuries) that were incredibly lucky.
on the bright side, even after going downs a goal and having a terrible start to the game, the team showed great morale and resilience, fought back, and outplayed chelsea to win a title, and that's the most important thing. grats.
