It’s been a rotten week for Arsenal, but at least one former player is shining.
The Gunners were thumped 3-0 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium this week in a defeat which saw David Luiz post a very David Luiz-type performance – i.e a shocker – and Pablo Mari and Granit Xhaka suffer serious injuries.
Yep, a terrible week for Arsenal so far, but the same doesn’t apply to one of the club’s old boys.
Cohen Bramall, sold by the North Londoners last summer during Unai Emery’s reign, fired Colchester United to a 1-0 playoff semi-final win over Exeter last night.
