RT @MoeSquare: It's no secret that Arsenal will be looking to acquire a striker this summer, but who should they target? For @ESPNFC; I loo…
One brilliant Lucas Bergvall shot has changed the entire tenor of this game. Eintracht Frankfurt fans drowned out for the first time in a long time and the players have responded accordingly. Kaua Santos all that stands between Spurs and the lead right now.
