Gunners Squeeze Past Shakhtar Thanks to a Lucky Break

Arsenal fans were on the edge of their seats last night as the Gunners narrowly edged out Shakhtar Donetsk in a thrilling match. It wasn't a classic performance from the North London side, but a crucial own goal was enough to secure the win.

The first half was a tight affair with both sides struggling to break through. Shakhtar's defense was rock solid, frustrating the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. The Gunners had their moments, though, with Martin Ødegaard pulling the strings in midfield and creating a few half-chances.

The turning point came just after the break. A misplaced pass from a Shakhtar defender ended up in the back of their own net. A stroke of luck for Arsenal, but a deserved win nonetheless. The Gunners kept their foot on the gas in the second half, but couldn't add to their lead.

Shakhtar came close to equalizing late on, but Aaron Ramsdale made a vital save to preserve the win. It wasn't the most convincing performance from the Gunners, but they'll take the three points and move on.

This win sends a message to the rest of the league: Arsenal are here to stay. They're looking to challenge for the title, and they're not afraid of a bit of grit and determination to get the job done.

Now, onto the next one!
