Premier League 2018/19, Arsenal 3-1 Leicester City: 3 takeaways

#1 Winning streak continues for Emery

It's now ten wins in a row for Unai Emery

It's not easy to replace a manager who has been at a club for so many years. There was doubt when Unai Emery took the managerial ownership from Arsene Wenger whether he is the solution for their problems. From the word go, it was apparent Arsenal would be a team in transition and it could take the new manager a couple of years before they can hope to win anything.

But Unai Emery and Arsenal has exceeded everyone's expectations after the first couple of games this season. The Gunners are now fourth in the league above their arch rivals Spurs and playing the way the fans want to see them. There is a belief around Emirates now.

Arsenal started the game slowly, and it was relatively easy for Leicester City to find that pocket of spaces in the opposition box. It was the opening goal from the Foxes that triggered the Gunners led by Mesut Ozil, and now they have their tenth win in a row in all competitions.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
