“Don’t bet against this team” – Sunday Oliseh praises Premier League club after victory

The former Super Eagles captain has praised the Premier League’s efforts so far this season.

Super Eagles legend, Sunday Oliseh, has lauded Premier League leaders Arsenal following their victory against Manchester United.

The Gunners showed the Red Devils who the boss is at the Emirate stadium on Sunday, as they played their socks off for a deserving victory.

Arteta’s men bagged three goals in a five-goal thriller match thanks to two goals from British-Ghanaian forward Eddie Nketiah, and a goal from Arsenal’s number 7, Busayo Saka.

It was looking like a disastrous Sunday evening for the hosts when Marcus Rashford scored from outside the box for Erik ten Hag’s men, but Nketiah equalized to give the Gunners a huge morale boost.

Both teams exchanged goals from Saka and Argentine’s Lisandro Martinez till Nketiah scored the winning goal.

Due to this performance, the Atlanta ’96 gold medallist showered encomium on the North Londoners via his Twitter page.

“Exceptional, sovereign & “Champion-like” performance by this season’s Arsenal till now.”, he wrote.

The Former Super Eagles, however, advised following Arsenal’s victory against the 2012 Premier League Champion.

“Tactically classy, with & without the ball, coupled with well-orchestrated transitions with runs into pockets that hurt Man. United Today. Don’t bet against this team!” Oliseh added.

Arsenal now leads the Premier League table with 50 points, 5 points ahead of Manchester City, with an outstanding game yet to be played.
