Having taken just eight points from their previous 10 games, Ange Postecoglou’s knack-depleted team went into Wednesday night’s north London derby as firm underdogs and duly lived down to their billing.I would never dare doubt the accuracy and reliability of statistics from Big Website, but some of the match stats from the Holsten Pil...

He left Ajax for London at 16 but returned aged 18 to the Netherlands with their rivals PSV Eindhoven, and there Malen began to realise his potential.Malen excelled during six months with Jong PSV, outscoring Cody Gakpo to finish the 2017-18 season as the under-23s’ top goalscorer and making his first-team Eredivisie debut in the February of a title-winning campaign. “He was at Arsenal doing his thing, a good player but not using ...
