EPL 2016/17: Middlesbrough 1-2 Arsenal, 5 Talking Points

Alexis Sanchez looks tired of carrying this team

#4 Middlesbrough didn’t learn from Crystal Palace

Alvaro Negredo will wish he had a partner to torment Arsenal’

Christian Benteke, Wilfred Zaha and Mamadou Sakho drained Arsenal of any confidence at Selhurst Park last week and the red and white team from the North West of England should’ve done just that.

Despite Arsenal fielding three centre-backs in the game this time around, should Alvaro Negredo and Rudy Gestede have started the game and used their natural build against Arsenal’s fragile defenders, the scoreline could’ve looked a lot more different.

And now with only six games to go, the Riverside club have quite the challenge to ensure they remain in England’s top flight. Three points against Arsene Wenger’s side could’ve helped them dramatically in closing the gap to Swansea and Hull.
