Arsenal-Burnley 0-1
Most things went wrong for Arsenal at home to Burnley. Red card, own goal and the seventh loss of the season bring Arsenal closer to relegation than the top half of the table.
– It seems that Arsenal have hit rock bottom, really. There can be nothing worse than this. It’s a shame what they show today, says TV 2 soccer expert Simen Stamsø-Møller.
– This is a crisis, Erik Thorstvedt agrees.
Arsenal were in a very good period in the second half when they clicked for Granit Xhaka. The midfielder was too late on an inning to Dwight McNeil. In the post-tackle riots, Ashley Westwood pushed Xhaka. The Swiss responded by strangling Westwood when he got up again.
– It amazes me that the judge did not give us pity
Judge Graham Scott first gave Xhaka a yellow card. IT WAS so different in situation. When Scott saw the replay on the TV screen, he had no doubts and got the red card.
Sacrifice
The Swiss will be evaluated by TV 2 experts.
– The club pays the price. I think they had won the game with eleven men on the field. This doesn’t work, Thorstvedt claims.
– We know you have a temperament, and you may need it to play with your style of play. But this is useless, he continues.
Stamsø-Møller agrees.
Summary: Aubameyang’s own goal turned crucial
– There are two very strange things, and one that is creepy. It’s strange what he does when he takes the free throw. So it’s very strange to get upset when McNeill gets a little angry. Run home again! It’s a head fog, says Stamsø-Møller.
– Glass of Pépé
Mikel Arteta is not very impressed either.
– We give away a stupid red card and lose the game, is the summary of the Arsenal manager.
When Nicolás Pépé was sent off earlier in the season, he called it unacceptable. The winger then received a red card for putting his forehead against an opponent.
– It’s the same word. In these conditions, it is even worse, Arteta tells Sky Sports.
– Under what conditions?
– In the situation we are in. Without winning football games. Then you can’t do it, replies the Asturian, who believes that the expulsion is related to the desire of the players to reverse the gloomy trend:
– But that is no excuse, he emphasizes.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal top at least one table: the table of teams with the most red cards. Arsenal received twice as many red cards as the next Premier League team.
With ten men, Arsenal made it difficult for him. The situation worsened when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored an own goal ten minutes after the penalty. The forward has fought a lot in front of the rival goal this season. Self-confidence hardly improves with knowledge online the wrong way.
Arsenal are in 15th place with 13 points from 12 games.
