The noise inside the stadium had settled into something close to resignation.
Arsenal were two goals up in the European Super Cup final, and the rhythm of the match had shifted to a place Tottenham couldn't seem to reach, and the commentators couldn't help it.
"Arsenal leading by two in a game of this magnitude… Tottenham just don't look like they know where the answers are coming from," Drury said, the edge of disbelief still there from the earlier goals.
On the pitch, Kevin Danso took the ball on the edge of his box and cleared it with far more force than direction.
It wasn't a pass.
It was frustration disguised as a defensive choice.
The ball dropped near the halfway line, and bodies crashed into each other as both sides tried to get control.
The ball ended up at Izan's feet.
And the moment it did, the noise in the stadium dimmed.
