No-one was that surprised as it was typical Arsenal – and there’s a statistical evidence to back up that statement, as they have been big match bottlers for a while.

Nobody doubts their excellence at the Emirates – but away from home against the best teams in the Premier League they are predictably poor.

Sky Sports made a graphic showing their awful record away to the other teams in the current top six – Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, Spurs, and Manchester United.

In the last 21 games, they haven’t won once in a streak that has included 14 defeats and seven draws.

It means that Wenger’s side have taken only seven points from a possible 63 and surely means they must end this streak if they want to ever be serious title contenders.
