Arsenal’s defence was split open with ease after a long ball from Hugo Lloris. Erik Lamela charged towards goal and his shot was poorly parried away by Bernd Leno and Eriksen was left free to tap the ball into the back of the net.
Here’s some initial reaction to the goal from some Arsenal fans:
Arsenal really need to sort out their shaky defending if the are serious about returning to their former glory. It’s no wonder the Gunners are often beat when coming across their top six rivals with defending like this.
