It's just the cost of doing business, which just annoys me.
But also, this has created a way of playing.
I mean, I used the phrase earlier, like attacking by defending, which is what Arsenal were doing.
So, Arsenal actually scored their goal from...
A rugby style David Raya punt which went out by the corner flag.
And then everyone comes to lock in on the City throw.
