For a long while it looked like the nightmare scenario was unfolding for Arsenal.
It got even better when Arsenal were reduced to 10 men when Dani Ceballos was sent off for the visitors after the hour. From then on, the knives were starting to sharpen for Mikel Arteta on social media.
But Nicholas Pepe converted a penalty to give Gunners a precious away goal and a lifeline.
"I'm happy in the second half we picked ourselves and have given ourselves a chance at the Emirates," Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, who won the penalty for his side, said.
