Their first loss of the season came at Bournemouth last weekend, where William Saliba was sent off.

In the end, they made up for it by beating Shakhtar, but it was still a terrible game.
It was hard for Arsenal to make smart decisions in the final third, so they only scored one goal in the end.
In the 29th minute, Gabriel Martinelli’s shot hit the post and then bounced off the goalie and into the net.
Arsenal really should have won by more than one goal.
A penalty kick by Leandro Trossard went wide, but David Raya made an amazing save in stoppage time to save Arsenal’s face.
Martinelli was without a question the best performer. Besides setting up the goal, he was great at working hard and pushing the ball hard.
The star, who is worth £50 million, won seven of nine duels and made all of his tackles and dribbles.
He had five good chances against Shakhtar and looked like himself again after getting over a small illness.
Martinelli hurt his right calf while playing for Brazil, but he seemed fine last night and almost made the goalie make a mistake.
He should be sure to play on the left wing when the Gunners play Liverpool at the Emirates on Sunday in a Premier League match.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has lost to the winger in the past. After yesterday’s performance, he should be excited to fight the Englishman.
