Arsenal were taken back to earth on Wednesday afternoon.
The Gunners thumped Charlton Athletic 6-0 this past weekend in preparation for their return to competitive action against Manchester City in six days.
When it was revealed that Brentford were also going to the Emirates Stadium, a similar thumping was expected to be doled out by Arsenal.
Instead, Mikel Arteta’s side lost 3-2 to the Championship outfit and the Bees’ third goal is being picked apart by fans on Twitter.
Alexandre Lacazette dithering in possession in his own final third ultimately led to the hosts going 3-1 down.
Here’s how Arsenal fans reacted to the gaffe on social media:
Lacazette scored a worldie against the Addicks last weekend and despite his error, he might still start against Man City next week.
Prior to the shut-down in March, the Frenchman looked like he was finally coming into his own under Arteta and the Spanish coach won’t have forgotten that.
