Arsenal are no strangers to going down to 10 men. It often precipitates the gifting of points to opponents.
Yet on this occasion, it stirred a resilient performance in the face of a matter out of their control, Myles Lewis-Skelly having received a ridiculous red card by referee Michael Oliver on the cusp of half-time for a foul on Matt Doherty.
Should they start training with 10 men, given their league-worst disciplinary record?
‘We don’t have time to train so the time we have, I expect to at least train with 11!’ boss Mikel Arteta laughed.
