Albert Sambi Lokonga was left celebrating the performance of another Arsenal loanee yesterday, who won in convincing fashion this weekend.
Lokonga will no doubt be glued to Arsenal’s trip to Manchester City later today, hoping his parent club can pull off a monumental victory.
Mikel Arteta will know how much a win could do for his side’s mental belief, dispelling the memory of last season’s collapse.
In fairness, this is now a very different Arsenal side to the one that lost 4-1 at the Etihad, put into perspective by the fact that it was Rob Holding who was up against Erling Haaland that day.
And with William Saliba available for the tie this time around, and Declan Rice now added to the fold, there’s every reason to believe things will end differently.
That being said, unfortunately Albert Sambi Lokonga wasn’t able to get help Luton Town provide the perfect start to the weekend for Arsenal fans when his side faced Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.
Lokonga missed the game owing to injury, but then did have time to applaud the performance of Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo.
