Everyone made the same joke after Arsenal lost to Swansea

Robert Redmond

No matter who they sign or sell, Arsenal will always find a way to be Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger’s side suffered a 3-1 defeat away to Swansea City on Tuesday night. Nacho Monreal gave Arsenal the lead after 33 minutes, finishing Mesut Ozil’s brilliant cross at the back-post. However, Swansea scored a minute later through Sam Clucas. Jordan Ayew made it 2-1 after 61 minutes before, four minutes from time, Clucas got his second goal of the night.

The defeat leaves Arsenal in sixth-place, three points behind Spurs who are due to play Manchester United on Wednesday night. Swansea’s victory moved them out of the relegation zone.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan made his Arsenal debut as a second-half substitute, and Olivier Giroud came on for his final appearance for Gunners. The French forward is set to join Chelsea, paving the way for Michy Batshuayi to join Borussia Dortmund, who will then sanction Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s transfer to Arsenal. The striker will cost Wenger’s side £60m, a club record fee.

However, some on social media reckon that he might have second thoughts after witnessing Arsenal’s latest poor result. The Gunners have yet to win an away game in 2018, and have only won three of their last 13 away games in the Premier League.

They evidently need someone of his Aubameyang’s quality to help them put some chances away. That’s if he’s still willing to join them after their latest loss.
