Meh, Dortmund are just overrated. Arsenal still hasn't faced a real test this season and aren't really title contenders until they, like, win it or something.

ONE NIL TO THE ARSENAL! ONE NIL TO THE ARSENAL! Fortress Westfalenstadion conquered!
AND it's Rambo who scored the winning goal!
Up my arse, it's good to be a Gooner these days.
Very viciously scary match to watch, mind, with Dortmund
gegenpressing
hard for the first hour and Arsenal well contained, if extremely disciplined against relentless assault. Then Arsenal pulled a fast one in revenge for Lewandowski's goal last leg, and we dominated an exhausted, panicked BVB.
I read up on the pre-match articles and it seemed like Arsene was talking up a game of flair, all positive attack between two positive sides or something...and we ended up playing very safe and measured for most of the game until the breakout. Just pundits going on with the cliched beautiful Arsenal (as usual) or masterful off-match trickery against Jurgen "Best Metalbeard" Klopp?
