All Arsenal players and fans were more than aware before the game that nothing short of a win against Burnley would be enough, with the Gunners quickly falling to the table.
But alas, we somehow managed to lose to Burnley at home for the first time in 46 years, and to be honest, it wasn’t a huge surprise. We also suffered our fourth consecutive loss at home, which is the first time since 1959. That, coincidentally, was the year I was born, and now I am 61 years old!
But after the game Mikel Arteta tried to find some positives, emphasizing that we were by far the best team and totally dominated the relegation fighters from Sean Dyche. Our boss told Arsenal.com after the game: “It’s another really disappointing loss because of the way we perform, the way we completely dominate the game, the opportunities that we generate.”
“They had no shots on goal, but instead we lost the game. Obviously, the red card changes the game completely. Still, we have to defend the set pieces better and we had some really good moments still with 10 men.
“As you could see, you cannot criticize what the players are trying to do and how much they are willing. And they are probably too willing to let Granit do what she did. Obviously I am very disappointed.
“Burnley made us pay. It is our mistake. In the Premier League, you must win the game. It is not a question, it is not a doubt. You have to go and win the game. That’s.”
Can anyone remember when we last dominated and really won the game? At my age, my memory doesn’t go back that far anymore. And as for remembering the last time Aubameyang scored …
