Lewis reacts to conceding his fifth goal of the night.

19-year-old Lewis didn’t get much assistance from his defence on a disappointing evening for the home side, but he didn’t help his image much, being at fault for at least three of the goals. For both of Welbeck’s goals, he was too eager to step off his line and was punished by some clinical finishing – the latter slipping between his legs and rolling through to the goal.

While he did make a couple of good saves in the second half, his side had cause to feel let down again when Walcott’s third goal slipped right past him as he dived the wrong way in spite of the ball being quite within his reach.

Arsenal fans would perhaps be grateful to him for sparing them some more “4” related jokes.
