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.

🔮 When Martinez came out, I said this is an absolute nightmare because it will rip the dressing room apart.
🔮 Amid significant interest in Kroupi, it was understood that a bid of close to £100m would likely be required to test Bournemouth's resolve.
🔮 This is due to planned engineering works that may affect the journey for many supporters.
🔮 Barcola has been an ever-present for Liverpool in the league since signing from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer and an update on his fitness will be provided by Andoni Iraola in the pre-match news conference on Friday.
🔮 If the three-week timeframe is accurate, Tzolis will be back in contention for the visit of Everton to north London on October 24, which is followed by a trip to Fleetwood in the Carabao Cup last 16 and showdown with Liverpool at Anfield.
🔮 Speculation is rife that Man United have sounded out a replacement for Carrick, though most of the attention will be on recovering some players for the next fixture - against Bournemouth this weekend.
🔮 Previously, Havertz would have had to serve a suspension if he picked three yellow card before the quarter-final stage of the Champions League.
🔮 We still had the feeling we could win the game, maybe had too.
🔮 Celebrations were briefly halted by an offside flag, only for VAR to overturn the decision, to the delight of almost 3,800 travelling fans high up at the other end of the pitch. However, Arsenal’s lead lasted just 10 minutes. Kane, who spent much of the game dropping deep, was the architect, producing a sumptuous through ball from inside the centre circle for Davies to outpace Timber and slot past Raya. For all of their possession, Arsenal appeared vulnerable on transitions and could have gone into the break behind as Kane had an effort blocked before Gnabry picked the wrong option by shooting from distance.
