valiant

Arsenal put up a valiant fight in Milan on Wednesday but ultimately it was another disappointing result in what is proving a tough spell for the Gunners.

The Dodgers played it smartly, if weirdly, on a night when the Yankees’ valiant effort could be summed up in two words.

But the Dodgers would get no closer, always failing to gain enough comeback traction as Honeywell surrendered four runs in 4⅔ valiant but ineffective innings of relief.

And despite a valiant effort at the final hole, McIlroy was unable to elude another gut-wrenching miss on a big stage.

We should even applaud those who make a valiant effort — especially if they’re in the room with us — because creating art is hard.
