Arsenal enter their Champions League second leg against Bayer Leverkusen tonight with a massive spring in their step following a historic weekend in the Premier League.
The Gunners moved nine points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table after a dramatic win over Everton that featured a record breaking goal from 16-year-old Max Dowman.
Riccardo Calafiori spoke this morning about the incredible atmosphere within the squad and the wild celebrations that followed the teenager’s historic strike.
Mikel Arteta is expected to use that positive energy to overcome a 1-1 aggregate scoreline although the squad is currently sweating on the fitness of Jurrien Timber.
Timber was forced off early during the Everton match and remains a major doubt for tonight’s European clash.
