3 records to note as Arsenal’s topsy-turvy season continues after one-all draw at Turf Moor!

Arsenal’s run of consistent inconsistent season resurfaced again as Mikel Arteta’s side failed to pick maximum points as they shared the spoils at Turf Moor.

Despite going ahead as early as the 6th minute via Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang strike, the Gunners failed to capitalize on their next chance to take control of the game as Bukayo Saka failed to convert from close range.

Chris Wood capitalised on a terrible mistake by Granit Xhaka a few minutes before half time as the home side restored parity.

Both teams had the opportunity to seal the three points on a sunny afternoon at Turf Moor. However, neither Saka not Wood could take advantage of the chance to score.

VAR once again came into play as referee Andre Marriner rescinded the decision to give Arsenal a penalty after the ball appeared to have struck Pieter’s hand in the box.

Arsenal failed to capitalize on their impressive win at Leicester last week as they remain in 10th position with 38 points after 27 games.

Here are three highlights from the game;
