Leandro Trossard has given an impassioned call to Arsenal to make the Emirates stadium their stronghold. Moreover, the Gunners are ought to win all their home games. Six days later, on December 13, the Belgian forward spoke after Arsenal 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The home comforts were at high stakes. He admitted of staying relieved to have earned three points through a 94th-minute own goal.
The Post-Match Euphoria and Tension
The Emirates exploded into the smoldering ashes when Yerson Mosquera accidentally turned the cross of Declan Rice into his own net. This closed the comeback of Arsenal. The 90rd minute, achieved by Tolu Arokodare had evened the scoreline. This eliminated the previous own goal Sam Johnstone conceded in the 70th minute to give Arsenal the advantage. This grim triumph was a stop to a mini-slump that saw Arsenal rise to the third position in the Premier League table.

The Emirates Imperative
This audacious statement by Trossard is to the very heart of what Arsenal wants to achieve. At the emirates we have to win all the matches with the home advantage and the manner in which we play. Not all the games are easy but that is how we are supposed to go about it, he proclaimed. They have passionate supporters and Mikel Arteta plays with high pressure hence anything short of being dominant is underperformance.
Trossard’s Sub Impact
Trossard came in during the halftime to replace Gabriel Martinelli. But immediately brought energy to the Arsenal left flank, cutting the Wolves low block with sharp passes. He put Myles Lewis-Skelly into the position, and served out Declan Rice, and even unlocked Viktor Gyokeres with a crafty through-ball–but the striker just hit the finish wide. His imagination was the most effective in bearing pressure in the mess.
Arteta’s Call to Arms
Mikel Arteta shared the views of Trossard, deploring that it wasted the first half, but commended the determination. With Arsenal looking forward to a festive cramming of fixtures that would include Manchester City, the words of Trossard are fueling the thought of win. The Emirates are forced to scream–there can not be failure.
