Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami, gunned down.
The key to this case, it's Brian. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. Being placed under arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now.
Welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas joined by Shaka Hyslov and Stevie Nicholl. What a day in the Premier League title race. We'll kick things off with Arsenal. They were on the south coast taking on Brighton. Saka would score early in this game just before the break. Brighton felt they should have had a penalty. Martinelli involved in that. Nothing was given and in the end, Arsenal hang on for a 1-0 win. A significant result considering what happened in Manchester. City taking on Nottingham Forest. This one would finish 2-2 at 2-1. City felt they should have had a penalty. Arlen going down, brought down by the goalkeeper. Nothing was given. There was a late scramble at the end at 2-2.
In the end, a fantastic clearance from Murillo meant that it finishes a draw. And what that means, Arsenal are seven points clear at the top of the table. City have a game in hand, but it really is now Arsenal. Arsenal's to lose. For more on this, Don Hutchinson joins us. Stevie, you look at this overall, and this was a kind of a round of matches you thought, well, maybe Arsenal can drop points at Brighton. City should be a layup against Forest. Doesn't play out that way. Arsenal fans absolutely delighted.
Yeah, and it should be partly because of the way they actually got this victory. You know, this was backs to the wall, this was a defensive... You know, we've been talking recently about how the Arsenal back line of the start of the season had disappeared. Well, it reappeared on the very night they needed it most, away at Brighton, because Brighton put them under severe pressure after Saka gets his goal. And really, Raya had a couple of good saves,
How did Arsenal secure their win against Brighton?
From a defensive point of view, they won their headers, the challenges were spot on, they got blocks in when it was needed. Anything that they needed to do defensively, they got it absolutely spot on. And that's why they won 1-0. They got the goal and then they defended for the rest of the game. And right now, the only thing that matters is getting the three points, regardless of how good, how bad or how indifferent you play. Absolutely, Don.
Yeah, I think there was one of their performances tonight where there's no pitches on the scorecard. They didn't play well. I thought Brighton were the far better side. I mean, Stevie's doing his best to try and get a Premier League referee's job if he doesn't think that was a penalty because it was an absolute stonewaller. I mean, Stevie, come on, man. I mean, Martinelli's just tracked Weaver in the box and pulled his arm and pulled him over.
If we're going to give a penalty for that sort of tussle in the box, we're going to see 10 penalties a game. So it's up to you, Don. You want 10 penalties a game? No, that's a penalty. That's a stonewall penalty.
What impact did Manchester City's draw against Nottingham Forest have?
It's not? If you're Vifa and you're running into the box, you can't get hauled over. Martinelli's not even looking at the ball.
But Vifa's holding on to him to start with. As it starts out the box, the Vifa's holding him. So, I mean, it's six and a half a dozen.
I disagree.
Let me put it this way. Had it been given, right, I wouldn't really have complained because I would understand why the referee would give that. But the fact that it's not given, I'm okay with that as well because... As I said, there's 10 of them in a game now, every single game.
Shaka, you get the deciding votes? If there's 10 of them in a game, then there should be 10 penalties in a game. Right. Weaver's trying to run around Martinelli. Martinelli's not even looking at the ball. I'm not seeing Weaver trying to hold on to Martinelli. I'm seeing a player trying to run around his opponent, and his opponent kind of... Not even looking at the ball, just looking at the man and holding on.
