Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorArsenal beat Nottingham Forest one-nil on Sunday, and Noni Madueke's goal came ten minutes from full-time, after a deflection off Jair Cunha beat the keeper Matz Sels.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAl Jazeera says Arsenal had no shot on target until that goal, and NBC Sports has them at roughly seventy-five percent of the possession.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo they had the ball three quarters of the time and never shot it? That sounds like a very safe ball.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, that's possession. I'm telling you, you can't lose the ball if you never put it anywhere dangerous.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDangerous for who? The goalkeeper was perfectly safe all afternoon.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt was still the sixth win in seven league games, and it puts them second, three points behind Manchester City.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank would call that sighting panther-level. The only credible sighting tonight was the cows, in traffic.
