Win over Sporting comes after back-to-back cup defeats ‘It’s been tough but that’s the beauty of football’ After everything Riccardo Calafiori has been through over the past couple of weeks, Tuesday night was exactly what he needed.

Of course I’m really disappointed, but I’ve got a lot to play for with Arsenal.”
