Game watched: Huddersfield 1-2 Arsenal

A very interesting Premier League game I enjoyed however no standout moments. Decent drive over to Huddersfield, not a very long trip for me with very little traffic on the way there. Found a very quaint yet decent local which good beer, one of the main pubs for the Huddersfield fans. Had 2 pints with the Uncle before we made our way to the ground, remember watching Fulham v Man Utd on the TV which was the early kickoff. Decent food inside the ground however the stand we both sat in wasn't great... had a 'temporary stand' vibe. Onto the game, Arsenal deserved the 2-0 lead at half time. Maitland-Niles was rinsing his full back all game, Kongolo the man in question safe to say had a shocker along with most of the players. Huddersfield were destined to go down and that was the vibe the fans had all game long. Huddesfield got a consolation in the very last min of injury time and it has to be said has got to go down as the worst defensive spell I have ever personally seen. Fuming Arsenal didn't cling on to get the clean sheet but 3 points away from home as an Arsenal fan always has to be cherished... also my first out of 2 games to see Unai Emery manage the Gooners. Can also tell my kids and grandkids that I saw Denis Suarez play in an Arsenal shirt... which they either wouldn't care about or would have forgotten his name as he never got a chance with us... due to inability and unfortunate injuries. Always love to see my beloved Arsenal play, will forever be a huge privilege
