Arsenal Striker Drought
Piers Morgan, the well-known TV personality and Arsenal supporter, has called for a change in tactics for Mikel Arteta's team. This comes after Gabriel Magalhaes, a center-back for Arsenal, scored a goal against Crystal Palace. It's worth noting that no Arsenal player has scored more than six goals in the Premier League this season.
Gabriel's Impressive Goal
Gabriel's goal came in the 11th minute of the match against Crystal Palace. He scored with a header from Declan Rice's corner kick, beating his marker in the process. Later in the game, Gabriel scored again, this time with a header off the back of Dean Henderson's head. Even though the second goal was given as an own goal, Piers Morgan praised Gabriel's performance and jokingly suggested that he should be played as a striker.
Fans Agree with Piers
Not only did Piers Morgan appreciate Gabriel's goal-scoring ability, but other fans also agreed with him. Some fans expressed their admiration for Gabriel's skills, while others suggested that Arsenal should experiment with different players in various positions to find a prolific goal scorer.
Arsenal's Victory and Rise in the Standings
Arsenal went on to win the match against Crystal Palace with a final score of 5-0. Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli also scored goals for the Gunners. This victory allowed Arsenal to climb above Aston Villa into third place in the Premier League table, based on goal difference.
Piers Morgan's Plea for a Prolific Scorer
Piers Morgan's desire for Arsenal to have a player who can consistently score goals is evident. As the Gunners continue to search for solutions to their goal-scoring struggles, it remains to be seen if Mikel Arteta will take Piers' suggestion and consider playing Gabriel Magalhaes in a more advanced position.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the Premier League champion?
The Premier League is won by the team who accumulates the most number of points throughout the 38 match season. For a win or a draw, teams earn three points. Losses are not worth any points. If two teams have the same amount of points at the end of the season, the winner will be determined by their goal difference. If the teams remain level, they may use a match at a neutral stadium to decide the championship. This scenario has never been seen in Premier League.
Can you describe the concept of a ‘Big Six in the Premier League’?
The ‘Big Six’ refers a grouping of Premier League’s most influential and successful clubs over the past few years. The list typically includes Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur. These teams are renowned for their consistently high performances, large fan bases, financial prowess and frequent qualification for European competitions including the UEFA Champions League & UEFA Europa League.
What is VAR’s role in Premier League?
The Premier League uses the Video Assistant Referee, or VAR, system to assist referees on the field in making correct decisions. This includes goals, penalties, incidents involving direct red cards, and misidentification. The VAR analyzes footage and gives advice to the referee. He can then view the replay on the pitchside monitor prior to making a final decision. The system’s goal is to minimize any human errors that may affect the result of a game.
