Lens 2 Arsenal 1: Disastrous night for Arteta as Gunners lose to French league strugglers and Saka hobbles off injured
ARSENAL suffered a shock 2-1 defeat away at Lens in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Gabriel Jesus gave the visitors the lead after a quarter of an hour, sprinting onto a Bukayo Saka pass and firing superbly into the bottom corner.
But the Gunners’ advantage lasted just 10 minutes as Elye Wahi held the ball up for Adrien Thomasson to run onto and lash a sumptuous effort beyond David Raya.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta then suffered a major injury blow as Bukayo Saka was forced off before half-time.
And the North Londoners found themselves behind midway through the second period when Wahi put Lens in front.
