Riccardo Calafiori and Declan Rice suffer in Arsenal defeat
It was a bad afternoon for Mikel Arteta’s side and the manner of the defeat will be of real concern to the supporters ahead of the rest of the campaign.
Riccardo Calafiori and Declan Rice in particular were extremely poor in the game for the Gunners and were both hooked off at the start of the second half.
The Italian defender allowed Aaron Wan-Bissaka to get a cross in far too easily for the opening goal whilst Rice lost track of Bowen in the six yard box.
A really disappointing day against his former club for the England international and the hurt was plain to see on his face after being substituted.
