#2 Arsenal fail to keep a clean sheet once again

Arsenal's caretaker manager dishes out instructions
Arsenal's caretaker manager dishes out instructions

Arsenal have been having an underwhelming season so far, and a regular feature of their campaign has been a penchant for shoddy defending.

The harrowing trend saw Unai Emery relieved of his command at the helm of Arsenal, and the course has continued under their caretaker manager Freddie Ljungberg. The Gunners conceded two goals off wicked deflections in this encounter, with the hosts benefiting from comical defending in the second instance.

The goals conceded in this encounter mean that this is Arsenal's worst defensive run since 2004. The Gunners have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 encounters now.
