Gunners bounce back with a narrow victory over Shakhtar! But what do we do with Arsenal players facing a tough run ahead?

Arsenal has been making headlines lately, and not just for their on-pitch performance. Amidst a shaky start where they suffered a surprising defeat to Bournemouth, the Gunners managed to rally back with a narrow but crucial 1-0 victory over FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. The match offered a tense atmosphere as fans held their breath every time the opposition threatened the goal. While some may say it was a fortunate win thanks to an own goal by Shakhtar's goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk, a win is still a win, right?

This fixture came at a challenging time for Arsenal, as they now face a daunting schedule with three tough fixtures on the horizon. Fantasy Premier League (FPL) experts are scratching their heads: to keep or sell Gunners players? With the way things have been going, it's a gamble to rely on their stars in the upcoming matches. After all, will the team’s form fluctuate like a yoyo?

The match against Shakhtar also had its standout moments. Gabriel Martinelli seemed to find his footing again, generating excitement among fans, while Gabriel Jesus is still waiting to find that elusive goal. The expectancy was palpable, and while the team’s performance was a tad rough around the edges, their determination shone through, exemplified by their ability to secure the victory despite missing out on various chances.

So, what can we take away from this tight contest? For Arsenal, getting back on track is key to maintaining momentum in the Champions League. Their renowned attacking threat is still there, albeit slightly obscured by recent performance inconsistencies. As the Gunners gear up for a tough run ahead, it's clear that they will need to dig deep—both players and fans alike—for the challenges ahead.

In case you missed it, did you know that Dmytro Riznyk, the Shakhtar goalkeeper, saved a penalty in the second half? Ironically, his own goal ironically turned out to be the game’s decider, showcasing the highs and lows of football. Additionally, Arsenal currently holds an unbeaten run at home this season in the league, setting a crucial foundation for their upcoming battles. The road ahead may be rocky, but it promises to entertain!
