Red card, own goal and loss – VG



[ad_1]

(Arsenal-Burnley 0-1, Leicester-Brighton 3-0) Problems arise for Arsenal. Granit Xhaka spoiled an unnecessary red card and captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored an own goal as Burnley won 1-0.

This means that Arsenal have just 13 points after 12 games, and manager Mikel Arteta is probably sitting in the manager’s chair. The London club is 15th in the Premier League.

When Unai Emery was fired and Arteta took over almost exactly a year ago, Arsenal were in 10th place. After Arteta took over, Arsenal have 13 wins and 12 losses in the league.

– That expulsion is so unnecessary. It really is a storm in a glass of water. He shouldn’t have reacted like that, claims former Arsenal star Alan Smith as a Sky Sports expert after Xhaka’s expulsion. Strangled Ashley Westwood from Burnley. After the VAR assessment, there was a direct red card.

Arsenal have received six red cards after Arteta took over. That’s twice as much as anyone else. They are all direct red cards.

– It is symbolic that Captain Aubameyang, with the biggest salary package, scores his own goal, says Erik Thorstvedt in the TV 2 studio.

The last time Arsenal lost four straight home games was in 1959 (one of them was against Burnley!). And the last time Arsenal lost seven of the first 12 games was in 1974. 1974 was also the year that Burnley last beat Arsenal in London.

Arsenal only have ten goals so far. It is the worst since 1981.

– We created a lot, but we got a stupid red card. We were in full control and we should have decided early. That’s unacceptable, Arteata says when asked to comment on Xhaka’s expulsion.

– There is no excuse. He gave the match to the opponent, says the Arsenal manager in an interview with Sky Sports.

– I think Arsenal would have won if it weren’t for the red card. I don’t think it’s correct to fire Arteta, says Thorstvedt on the TV 2 broadcast.

Already on Wednesday, Arsenal will face Southampton and on Saturday there is another difficult game against Everton in Liverpool.
