West Brom 3-1 Arsenal: 5 things we learned from a poor defeat

Shambolic defence

Clearly a large portion of Arsenal’s poor form has come around due to poor defending and the stats also back this up. In 2017, Arsenal have kept just three clean sheets in the Premier League and have astonishingly conceded 21 goals in nine games.

In the defeat to West Brom, all three goals were avoidable had Arsenal completed basic defensive tasks. Both goals from corners were a result of awful marking, whilst David Ospina ust take responsibility for the bizarre incidents in the second goal.
