How can a professional player miss that chance, despite having won? He’s not happy right now. A BBC pundit noticed an Arsenal player with his hands on his head following a first-half mistake.
In the Premier League match against West Ham on Sunday, Michael Brown criticized Leandro Trossard’s performance, believing he could have done better with an early chance for Arsenal. The Gunners were in desperate need of a win after Liverpool and Manchester City secured three points each on Saturday. During the game, Trossard had a clear header opportunity in the six-yard area from a Bukayo Saka cross, but the Belgian failed to test Alphonse Areola, and Brown expressed surprise at his handling of the occasion in an interview with BBC Radio Five Live.
Despite Trossard’s missed opportunity, Arsenal did not suffer any consequences as they went on to score four goals before halftime. The opening goal came shortly after Trossard’s miss, alleviating concerns for Arsenal fans. The lack of a ruthless goalscorer had been a prevailing topic of discussion for the Gunners this season, but the team displayed a clinical edge in the first half. Trossard, who had initially squandered a chance, later redeemed himself by scoring a beautiful goal into the top corner, contributing to Arsenal’s 4-0 lead.
