Twitter explodes as 10-man Arsenal lose 1-0 to Burnley

Arsenal succumbed to another embarrassing loss at home as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's own goal gifted Sean Dyche's Burnley a valuable 1-0 victory. After a promising start under Mikel Arteta, things have well and truly started to unravel for the Gunners as they now sit in 15th position and just 5 points clear of the relegation zone.

Arsenal have really struggled in front of goal this season and the insipid attacking performances continued as they struggled to get past the impressive Nick Pope and the resolute Burnley defence.

While it was a dire first half, Arsenal were still in the game as they headed into the break locked at 0-0 with a Burnley side which struggled creatively. The game changed on its head when Granit Xhaka got a silly red card early in the second half.

To rub salt into Arsenal fan's wounds, Aubameyang, who has struggled to hit the back of the net after signing a lucrative new contract scored an own goal to give the visitors the lead in the 73rd minute.

Arsenal did go on the offensive in the closing stages of the game, but it was a case of too little too late as the Burnley backline was resolute defensively and denied the hosts any clear chances.

This result will now put a lot of pressure on Mikel Arteta. Arsenal have failed to win their last 5 Premier League games and look woeful and bereft of ideas in front of goal.

Here are the best tweets from Arsenal's 1-0 loss to Burnley at The Emirates.

It has not been easy for Aubameyang and Arsenal in the last few weeks

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored more goals for opposition teams (1) than he has for Arsenal at the Emirates this season.

Burnley's goal against Arsenal is the first Mikel Arteta's have conceded from a set-piece in the Premier League this season.And it was their own player that converted it. 😫

Arsenal fans need to look at the positives. They may be in a relegation battle but at least Aubameyang’s goal drought is now over. pic.twitter.com/KTCHqHEtwV

I genuinely think Arsenal can win the league next season the way they’re playing. Arteta is still learning as a coach but I reckon with a few additions and Aubameyang firing they can pip Millwall to the Division 2 title.

Granit Xhaka's red card did not leave the Arsenal fans impressed

Patrice Evra: “Thierry Henry invited me round his house once to watch the Arsenal game. I went round, Thierry Henry turned the TV off straight away and said ‘sorry, I cannot watch Xhaka be the captain of my club’.” #afc
