- We might be back - First half was very even with a couple chances for both sides but nothing major. - Gills really came into their own in the second half especially after the introduction of McCleary - A great delivery from Hale was headed home by one of our own in Logan Dobbs for his first EFL goal - It was Hale scoring the second as he anticipated the movement of the ball brilliantly to get on the end of a great ball from McCleary to make it 2-0 - Injuries continue to be a problem with Waldock getting injured early in the second half and then Hale getting injured slipping over after Scoring - Overall a massive positive performance and good to build on the Rochdale performance. - Motm a toss up between Hale and Dobbs.

- Simply not good enough from a Union perspective - Defensively poor all night and very lucky Rønnow is as good as he is - failed to create much at all in the first half - Second half Union created a lot more after the second Schalke goal and they sat off but failed to be clinical with Karius making some big saves - as for Schalke it was a good strike from gosens and aouchiche took his goal well. - Skarke pulled one back and then wober wrapped it up on the counter - Union need to be so much better if they want to have a good season.

- Arsenal found a way to win as they so often have done of recent. - Chelsea got off to the best possible start through Rogers - But Arsenal came back with a goal from havertz which Martinez will be disappointed with - Odegaard found the goal that proved to be the winner early in the second half - Arsenal proved that they are definitely still the team to chase and proved that Chelsea still have some work to do to reach that level
