Arsenal were beaten in the Europa League 1-0 at BATE Borisov on Thursday night.

The Belarusian side are effectively in pre-season having not have not played a competitive game since their final Europa League group game two months ago.

That didn’t stop Stanislav Dragun nodding home Igor Stasevich’s free-kick for the game’s only goal just before half-time. BATE held out to hand Arsenal a fourth away defeat in five games in all competitions.

Several Gooners have heavily criticised Unai Emery following the club’s 1-0 first-leg and lacklustre performance.

The Spaniard again faced questions about the absence of Mesut Ozil, who was left at home in London despite returning to full training following a recent illness. Arsenal lacked creativity in central areas with Aaron Ramsey sidelined wtih a knee injury.

The loss prompted many Arsenal fans to take to social media after the game to express their displeasure at the result but also Emery’s management.
