Pop wasn’t worried, not yet. His game plan was running like clockwork. The Spurs were executing, the ball was moving, and Lin Yi was being targeted to wear him down. That was the whole idea.
The city of London had fallen into a heavy silence, especially in North London.
Along the streets near the Emirates, Arsenal fans stood in cold stillness, eyes fixed on the Manchester United team bus as it rolled past.
