Arsenal set an unwanted record on Sunday afternoon in their English Premier League match against Leicester, registering just 32.8 per cent possession in their 3-0 loss. 

This is the lowest percentage they have recorded in the Premier League, with the lowest record previously coming during a 2-2 draw away to Liverpool in 2014 under former manager Arsene Wenger. 

The Gunners started the game brightly, but their hosts settled in well and caused their opponents problems in the first half.
