The night is drawing in, and tonight's (6th) Community Shield fixture is full of passion. For the Arsenal faithful, there may be a hint of displeasure with the FA's choice of referee, Edgeway. Looking back to New Year's Day 2022, Ajayi made a series of controversial calls in the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester City, resulting in a defeat for the Arsenal, who had been on a roll.
Looking at the statistics, Ajayi's enforcement of the game, Arsenal with 8 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses presented, while Manchester City is 16 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, the two teams do not seem to be particularly biased in favor of either side of the record.
However, in the January 1, 2022 match between Arsenal and Manchester City, Odigat was tackled in the box by Aidachen without a penalty being awarded, while Benedict Schwarz was then given a 12-yard penalty for a subsequent infringement. Gabriele Magathis was then sent off for two yellow cards plus a red card as Arsenal faced a one-man deficit and eventually lost 1-2.
