Everyone getting on [the ball], touching it, pass and move, pass and move to open them up. We were probing all game up until that point, so to score that, Martin again, so happy for him, a massive goal and a big three points.”Rice’s comments underline Arsenal’s dominance and the quality of the chances they created. Despite scoring only once, the Gunners consistently threatened Napoli and produced enough opportunities to win by a much wider margin.The victory gives Arsenal an important start to their Champions League campaign. If they can become more clinical in front of goal, the Gunners could be an even greater threat as they pursue success on multiple fronts this season._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
