3. Arsenal Football is back

Finally, some football, right? While it is only pre-season and results mean nothing, the chance to watch the team play brought pure joy to the millions of fans worldwide. Of course, the opening half an hour left many wondering why they decided to watch, but the second half more than made up for it.

We saw Gabriel Jesus, Mohamed Elneny, and Gabriel Martinelli tear the game apart in scintillating fashion. Something that we can hopefully look forward to becoming a regular occurrence this season.

Football is back and with a bang. A game of two contrasting halves in which the backups failed miserably before a Brazilian punch restored parity and some after the restart.

How good is football, eh?
