In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss the 1-0 win against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Just when it looked like a dismal sequence of 15 games without a league win against City was about to continue, Arsenal came up with another moment of late drama at Emirates Stadium that may yet be seen as one of the most significant moments in Arteta's time as manager if it has the galvanising impact it should have.

Four minutes remained, the main storyline looking like it would be yet another video assistant referee controversy. This time the debate was around how referee Michael Oliver somehow allowed Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic to remain on the pitch after a nasty scrape down the back of Martin Odegaard's ankle that brought a yellow card, followed by another poor challenge on Declan Rice shortly after that brought nothing - It should have brought Kovacic's early departure.

And then came that decisive moment. Gabriel Martinelli, excellent after appearing as a substitute at the start of the second half, fired in a shot in optimism that suddenly had the perfect outcome, deflecting off Nathan Ake past the stranded Ederson.

The stadium erupted in joy, scenes repeated when four minutes of stoppage time were over and Oliver sounded the final whistle.

Arsenal have got over a line that always seemed tantalisingly out of reach. We have won in the league against City after those 15 winless games in the past eight years, which included 12 straight losses.

In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss how French side RC Lens came from behind to shock Arsenal in the Champions League.

The below-par Gunners rode some early pressure from Lens before Gabriel Jesus claimed a 14th-minute opener from a through-ball from Bukayo Saka, who then sadly went off injured.

Lens levelled 11 minutes later as Adrien Thomasson curled a superb finish into the far corner as a resuly of a David Raya mistake.

As Arsenal suffered their first loss of the season on a difficult night, they suffered another blow before Sunday's crunch Premier League meeting with Manchester City as England forward Saka went off after just 33 minutes.

Wahi's first-time finish into the bottom left corner from a Przemyslaw Frankowski cross in the 69th minute saw the home side seal a notable success.

If we are being honest, Lens were worthy of a win that took them to the top of Group B on four points, with Mikel Arteta's side second on three thanks to a draw in the other evenings fixture.

Sloppy in defence, Arsenal struggled to create clear-cut chances. Arsenal will look to bounce back in the Champions League when they travel to Sevilla in three weeks' time, while Lens host PSV.

In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss how Arsenal thrashed Bournemouth 4 goals to 0. Kai Havertz scored his first goal for Arsenal with a penalty as we comfortably beat winless Bournemouth in the Premier League at Vitality Stadium.

Havertz, who has struggled since arriving from Chelsea in the summer, converted the second of two Gunners penalties to ensure their third consecutive away victory.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring, heading in the rebound from Gabriel Jesus' effort and Martin Odegaard scored a penalty to give Mikel Arteta's side a comfortable lead at the break.

The Gunners' dominance continued into the second half, and after Havertz scored, Ben White headed home from Odegaard's free-kick in added time to add gloss to a comprehensive victory for Arsenal.

We also discuss the rather embarrassing PGMOL moments in the days evening fixture Tottenham v Liverpool.

In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss how Arsenal secured their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round as Reiss Nelson’s early goal clinched a battling 1-0 win over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Nelson finished coolly in the eighth minute following a misplaced pass from Brentford defender Zanka, with Mikel Arteta's much-changed team then holding off a second-half rally from the hosts.

The Bees went closest through Yoann Wissa, who saw a low strike brilliantly pushed onto the post by Aaron Ramsdale, back in goal for Arsenal for the first time since losing his place to David Raya.

Jakub Kiwior then pulled off a goal-line block from substitute Lewis Keane-Potter as Arsenal withstood more late Brentford pressure to ensure a winning response to their north London derby draw with Tottenham which sets up a trip to West Ham in the next round.

In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss the frustrating 2-2 at The Emirates against Fulham.

Palhinha's first-time finish from a corner in the 87th minute earned the away side a share of the spoils. The Cottagers had Calvin Bassey sent off four minutes earlier after he fouled Eddie Nketiah on the counter-attack.

Andreas Pereira got Fulham off to a quick start, scoring after just 57 seconds. Pereira latched onto a loose ball from Bukayo Saka and fired in a curling shot, with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale out of position.

Saka equalised from the penalty spot for the Gunners after Fabio Vieira was caught by Kenny Tete.

Nketiah scored Arsenal's second as they came from behind to take the lead, before Fulham had the final word.

After getting into their winning position, Arsenal switched off and were punished. If you would like to show your support for the podcast and help us grow please consider "buying us a coffee" via this link https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ArsenalRamble

In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss how Arsenal overcame Takehiro Tomiyasu's second-half sending-off as Martin Odegaard's well-taken penalty was enough to secure a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Monday Night.

The Gunners made it two wins from two at the start of the new Premier League season at Selhurst Park, as Odegaard's 53rd-minute spot-kick proved the difference despite referee David Coote's questionable decision to red-card Tomiyasu for two quick bookable offences.

It led to a period of sustained pressure on Aaron Ramsdale's goal late on with Tyrick Mitchell firing over but the hosts were unable to unlock Arsenal's stubborn defence as Mikel Arteta's men ground out a victory which moves them level on points with Brighton and Manchester City at the Premier League summit.
