Arsenal wins three straight with goals from the bench
All three of Arsenal's recent Premier League wins came from goals scored by players brought on mid-match.
Arsenal have won their past three league games all the same way: with decisive goals from substitutes. Noni Madueke scored the winner against Nottingham Forest after coming on at half-time.
Bruno Guimarães did the same against Sunderland and Leeds. Arsenal's winning pattern is worth watching.
Manager Mikel Arteta makes his first substitution faster than almost every other Premier League manager, averaging his first change after just 50 minutes, and he has already made four half-time changes just this season.
Since Arteta arrived in 2019, no other team has scored more winning goals from the bench. His subs have also combined for more goals and assists than any rival's over the past two seasons.
