Stoke City 3-2 Arsenal: Back to the ground

Crouch (No. 25) scored one of the fastest goals in the Premier League.

A nightmare soon surrounded Arsenal, when Peter Crouch scored the opening goal for home team Stoke in the first minute.

Arsene Wenger once despised Stoke for their tight playing style and negative defense to get points at all costs under Tony Pulis.

Bojan had one of his best games in a Stoke shirt.

That ease was the basis for Stoke to be able to launch 13 shots, of which four times the ball hit the target – not much worse than Arsenal’s 15 shots.

This situation upset all the calculations of Wenger – who had deliberately taken a number of important players to rest for the `mortifying` journey ahead – where big teams like Arsenal have to play an average of three days.

Walters helped Stoke close the great half beyond all expectations.

The away team was forced to push forward unexpectedly early, so they were barely able to penetrate the tight defense of the home team.

In the 35th minute, the gap increased to 2-0 when Bojan successfully converted Walters’ pass.

Wenger will have many more headaches if the current situation continues.

After the break, Coach Wenger immediately had to bring Danny Welbeck onto the field.

Just two minutes later, when Stoke’s defense had not yet regained composure, their net rose again with an open volley from a corner kick by Alexis Sanchez – who continued to play enthusiastically and cleverly.

It’s too late for Arsenal to get a point back.

With a one-goal gap with 20 minutes left in official time, Arsenal – the team that has scored seven times in the last five minutes of matches this season – has every reason to hope to regain at least one point.

This result ended Arsenal’s recent winning streak (one in the Champions League and two in the Premier League).
