Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 While Arsenal left the Stadium of Light at the weekend with all three points thanks to goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Bukayo Saka, things could have unfolded very differently as a penalty was awarded against the Premier League champions early in the second half.

🔮 The Arsenal manager is expected to rotate for his side’s fourth game in nine days and third away fixture in succession across all competitions.
🔮 As such, it would appear Richarlison is stuck at Spurs, at least until the January transfer window when his situation can be revisited.
🔮 Given the right-back has started all six games this season - including the Community Shield win over Manchester City - there was always a chance he would have been rested for the cup tie anyway.
🔮 Another clean sheet for the Tigers may go a long way towards securing their most important objective of the campaign - avoiding relegation.
