It was a difficult season for Arsenal. The team finished 6th in the league – it’s worst position for over 20 years. During the season, Arsenal lost two great attacking players in Alexis Sanchez (who went to Man Utd), and Olivier Giroud (who went to Chelsea). You can see from the table below that those two guys took lots of shots. Arsenal needed to replace them to keep scoring goals. Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came to the club and did just that.

Ningún equipo logró hacerse con el control del partido desde un inició, aunque poco a poco el Atlético lo fue logrando, el centro del campo no tuvo mucho control y pareció convertirse en una zona de batalla, aunque ambos equipos lograron conectar con la delantera y crear ocasiones. El gol llegó en el minuto 15, previamente el Atlético disfrutó de varias llegadas, la primera de Raúl García tras una jugada de Juanfran, otras más claras y espectaculares, como una chilena que intentó el Guaje, el que después logró el tanto atlético. Villa recogió un rechace de la defensa y batió a Estaban por debajo para que la pelota botara dentro de la portería.
