It’s safe to say most did not expect Arsenal to have much trouble against BATE Borisov in their Europa League round of 32 tie.
The Belarusian side played against Arsene Wenger’s Gunners last year and were outmatched, losing their home group stage game 4-2, and then got smoked in London by a 6-0 scoreline.
However, neither result would be in the offing today as Stanislav Dragun scored in the 45th minute for BATE and Unai Emery’s men failed to respond with a goal of their own in a 1-0 defeat.
To make matters worse for Arsenal, Alexandre Lacazette saw red in the 85th minute, meaning the star man will miss out on the second leg.
This result all but angered Arsenal fans who took to twitter to air their frustrations against Unai Emery with many of them suggesting that it is time for the Spaniard to leave the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal will get better results if they would stop appointing Managers with names similar to the Club or the Stadium ?? who knows they might replace Emery with Ole ‘Gunner’ Solskajaer ??? #EmeryOut #Arsenal
