Arsenal on Saturday, March 2, kept their hopes of finishing among the top four teams this season alive after forcing North London rivals Tottenham to a 1-1 draw at the Wembley stadium.

Tottenham went into this encounter having lost their last two games, and the expectation of their fans was to soar against the Gunners, but they were disappointed.

Arsenal got the first chance to score in this tie in the sixth minute when Nigerian star Alex Iwobi set up Aaron Ramsey with a brilliant pass, but he was stopped by the referee for an offside.

Two minutes later, it was the turn of the hosts as Harry Kane benefited from a superb combination of Victor Wanyama and Sissoko, but he was unable to beat goalie Leno.

Arsenal got their goal in the 16th minute when Alexandre Lacazette directed a fine pass to Aaron Ramsey who then sent Hugo Lloris the wrong way in what could be his last London derby game for the Gunners.

Spurs tried all they could to restore parity before the end of the first half, but Arsenal would have goalkeeper Leno to thank who saved his side in the first 45 minutes.

Mauricio Pochettino's side finally got their equalizer in the 74th minute via a penalty that was scored by Harry Kane in which Arsenal's Shkodran Mustafi was cautioned with a yellow card.

The match however ended 1-1 at Wembley as Tottenham remain third on the Premier League standings while Arsenal are fourth.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
