Arsenal fell to defeat once again on Sunday afternoon, losing 2-0 away at North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The Gunners were hoping to produce a surprise result and actually find the net, but it ended up being another dismal day.
Son Heung-min fired Spurs in front with a stunning long-range strike, before he then set up Harry Kane to finish off a sweeping counter-attack.
Arsenal had plenty of possession but just couldn’t find a goal, meaning they have scored just twice in their last seven Premier League games.
Mikel Arteta needs to find answers quickly as the pressure mounts on him, and Yannick Bolasie had one idea on Sunday.
The Everton winger grew up supporting Arsenal so was understandably frustrated with the result, and suggested that Arteta needs to ‘free’ Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Maitland-Niles was an unused substitute for Arsenal last night, and Bukayo Saka ended the game at right back despite being left-footed, with many baffled as to why Maitland-Niles wasn’t given a chance.
Bolasie feels it’s now time for the 23-year-old to be given another chance in the Premier League, having started just two games so far this season.
