The Chronicles of a Gooner - Arsenal Podcast

On this episode, Harry Symeou looks back on Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Arsenal in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie. The hosts took the lead early through Robert Andrich but should he have been on the pitch? The Gunners found an equaliser late on after substitute Noni Madueke was brought down in the penalty area before former Leverkusen star and darling of the BayArena Kai Havertz converted the spot-kick to wipe out the host's lead. Again, there are question marks over Arsenal's attacking performance, why are we so lacklustre at times? We get into all of that and more. Plus, we take your thoughts/questions from the live chat box.

On this episode of TCOAG, Harry looks back over Mansfield 1-2 Arsenal in the 5th round of this season's FA Cup. The Gunners took the lead through Noni Madueke but Mansfield's Evans netted an equaliser shortly after half-time. Substitute Eberechi Eze scored the winner, a powerful strike from just inside the penalty area and that was enough for the visitors to sneak through. On a less positive note both Leandro Trossard & Riccardo Calafiori were forced off with suspected injuries.
