Mikel Arteta’s problems keep on mounting. In a week that they were rocked by the surprise resignation of the sporting director, Edu, Arsenal surrendered their unbeaten start in the Champions League after Hakan Calhanoglu kept up his record of never having missed a penalty for Inter to score the only goal of a tightly contested game.
It was an exasperating occasion for Arteta, who was bizarrely booked after half-time and came close to being sent to the stands as his side searched for an equaliser. But despite a much-improved second-half display that saw the visitors rack up 14 corners to Inter’s none, they sank to a second successive 1-0 away defeat.
