Lens-Arsenal: Thomason’s sumptuous save to equalize against Englishmen

Within half an hour against Arsenal, Adrian Thomasson went through all the emotions. In the 14th minute, Gabriel Jesus launched a poor pass from his right foot to score. Eleven minutes later, the same right-footer worked wonders with a sumptuous half-volley that found its way into David Raya’s narrow net.

However, this goal was far from being achieved. When Machado intercepted a short pass towards Tomiyazu, he sent a long ball high towards Eli Wahi. Particularly combative, the former Montpellier striker, despite the disparity, tore himself to control the skin of the chest before turning to Adrian Thomasson.

Coming in from the left side of the area, the former Strasbourg man asked no questions and fired a superb curling half-volley with his right foot that grazed the post before ending its course into the side netting. The author of the initial poor pass, David Raya, intervened and could do nothing to avoid the draw.
