What changed was the way Arsenal finished them — and the space Lille had to leave once Timber broke the deadlock. In this video, I break down what the bench actually changed, why Madueke and Saka were doing different jobs, what the numbers say about Leeds versus Lille, and what all of that means for Nottingham Forest.
