The win put Arsenal on top of the league title. With four rounds to go, they are seven points ahead of second-placed Chelsea with one game in hand. The 33rd round of replay will not start until 21 May, and their opponents are Sunderland, and it seems to be a game without suspense.

So, with four games remaining, Arsenal are ten points ahead of Chelsea, meaning that Arsenal only need to win away at Hull City in the next round to seal the league title.

The whole Arsenal squad was jubilant because it had been a long time since they last touched a league trophy. First and foremost was manager Arsene Wenger, and winning the London derby was perfect for him.

"Thank you guys! I thank them, it was a fantastic game and they did a fantastic job. I'm so proud of them. ”

When Arsene Wenger spoke to the media, whenever he talked about the content of the game or the performance of the players, the professor always had a smile on his face.

In the twilight of his coaching career, if he can still win a league trophy, he can also make a difference to his "old friend".

Ferguson's final season at Manchester United helped the team win the twentieth league trophy in the club's history, and the last to date, before the Jazz announced his retirement.

If this is really Arsene Wenger's final season at Arsenal, he will hopefully he can pick up another trophy before leaving, as Ferguson did. And now, he is getting closer and closer to that goal.

The day after this match, the draw for the Champions League semifinals was held in Paris, France, where Cosmos Barcelona met Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, a clash between two "FCBs"; Arsenal, on the other hand, met Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

In the midst of this, there is also a very interesting record between the two sides.

In Real Madrid's glorious history in the Champions League, there is one team that has never scored a goal by them, and that is Arsenal, which was unique before! Coincidentally, Real Madrid and Arsenal are the only two teams that have never missed the Champions League, but they always seem to be on the same side, especially in the past 10 years, Arsenal has drawn Barcelona and Bayern Munich countless times, including Milan earlier, but only met Real Madrid once.

It was the 1/8 final of the 05-06 season, Real Madrid lost 0:1 at home to Arsenal in the first leg, Henry started to take the ball from the midfield, first squeezed away the chasing Da Luo, and then rode all the way to the hurdle and scored a very classic goal in the history of the Champions League; In the second leg in Highbury, Real Madrid still had no way to take Arsenal, and Henry once again singled out the Galaxy Battleship, shooting slightly wide, and the two teams finally fought 0:0, and Arsenal successfully eliminated Real Madrid.

So in this cross-decade encounter, I don't know what kind of sparks can be sparked by the two teams after the reform.

Here's the schedule for the semi-finals. Arsenal first played at home on 6 May, and then a week later, on 14 May, they travelled to the Bernabeu for a ticket to the final in Paris, France.

Three days later, on 29 April, Arsenal faced their other major competition, the semi-finals of the FA Cup, against Reading.

Reading have been a dark horse this season, reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup as a Championship side. If the FA Cup is a perk of the lower leagues, it will be their nightmare when it comes to the final stage, because at this point the Premier League teams start to get in earnest. And this is also the reason why there are many upset teams, but the final champion will still be pulled into the arms of the Premier League team.

In general, there is still a gap between the Championship and the Premier League.

And Reading's FA Cup journey can be described as a smooth sail. The journey was smooth sailing, and the opponents were basically League One except for the Championship, so it was not challenging for them. That is, it was a little difficult to face Bradford in the quarter-finals, but they still swept their opponents 3-0 in the subsequent replays.

It wasn't until they reached the semi-finals that they really took on Premier League leaders Arsenal.

Before the game, this game was not favored, because after all, it is a Championship team, and they are currently ranked seventh from the bottom of the league, although it is said that there is no need for relegation, but it is a bit ugly, and this game against the strong Arsenal team, it is unanimously agreed that it will be a slaughter.

However, when the game actually started, the course of the game surprised everyone present.

Arsene Wenger was not conservative in this game, he fielded all the best players he could, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Welbeck.

From the beginning of the game, Arsenal comprehensively suppressed Reading, and even turned it into a half-time offensive and defensive drill. However, it was in the final moments of the first half that the goal was scored.

Sun Xiang crossed the ball from the right, the ball was pushed out by the Reading defender, and then Sun Xiang's low ball was passed into the penalty area, and the unguarded Ozil on the left side of the penalty area easily pushed it away. Speaking of this goal, if it weren't for the Reading defenders who were a little scrambling in the penalty area, it would really be impossible to get by.

After scoring the goal, Arsenal was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and they couldn't score for a long time, which was tantamount to draining their confidence.

But what is unexpected is that after the goal, the Reading team played more relaxed, and the opportunities to threaten the Arsenal goal became more and more right. In contrast to Arsenal's attacking efficiency, Reading opened the scoring in the first nine minutes of the second half, when they were equalised by their leading striker, John McCully.

This has boosted the morale of the Reading team, and it is a luxury for many Championship teams to be able to score against the Premier League leaders. So after that, Reading began to take advantage of this situation to start to shrink their defense, because at the beginning of the semi-finals is a decisive victory, so if it is also a draw in the end, it can only rely on penalties to decide, and then the final ticket will become equal to 1 to 1.

It was also with this mentality that they began to unite to defend. Not to mention, for defense, Reading really has a set, which makes several Arsenal frontcourt stars unable to speak.

In this way, the game was deadlocked until overtime. In the first half of extra-time, Arsenal failed to score a single goal, despite having an all-round advantage in various statistics such as possession.

Knowing that extra-time was in the second half, Arsenal finally knocked on the door that their opponents had been closed for a long time after relentless efforts.

Sun Xiang went on the offensive again, using the left and right lateral balls to open up Reading's defence, and found a hidden gap in the middle of the field, which could be the only line.

No longer hesitating, Sun Xiang's feet shook, and the ball passed along the designed line.

It was Ozil, who once again appeared at the other end of Sun Xiang's passing line, and in the face of the attacking goalkeeper, his left-footed push did not waste this hard-won opportunity, rewriting the score on the field to 2:1.

And this is also the final score of this game. Holding out for almost an hour before conceding a goal broke Reading's confidence that had been built up so much, and they were unable to score again, even though they didn't concede again. In this way, the only seed of the Championship team ended up in the FA Cup semi-finals.

In the other game, Aston Villa beat Jurgen Klopp's side 2-1 at home to book their ticket to the final. They will face Arsenal in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium in London on the last day of May.
