This game is giving me stress already cry

We've put some really good moves together, the Saka-Laca-Auba combo appears to be working well. Unfortunately for us, while Schmeichel might not be his dad, he's damn good. Against other teams we probably would be two or three up.

Schmeichel unfortunately having one of those nights so far!

Looks like we are having a better 2nd half compared to recent games at the moment.

Luckily his leg could bend there or it would have been broken.

That was a coming together. As-fkng-if that was a red, he was turning away.

If it was actually a clear and obvious error they wouldn't have needed to look at it fifteen fking times. s.

The big worry for Arsenal is they are down to 10 men and David Luiz is still on !!!

Studs up into the knee, nowhere near the ball.
I'm afraid that is a red all day long.

Always disappointing to concede a lead but a draw isn't a bad result there.

Thought we were comfortably the better team for large parts of that game and should have been 2 or 3-0 up, before the red card which changed the game for us and we sat back so deep. Encouraging signs for me though overall, but it doesn't get any easier as we have spurs away followed by Liverpool at the Emirates iirc next in the Premier League.

Very disappointing result that, 1st half was the best I've seen them play in a long time and we should have scored 3/4 goals.
I'm not really liking Saka on the right as he seems a bit lost apart from the assist.

Pepe would have been a better fit and out ball to come on at half time or even started.

I don't think the ref was great either in terms of booking their players.

Eddie I don't think was intentional, he did look like he was going to get there first and unfortunately he caught the guy so no probs with the red.

Again sitting back in the second half cost us.

On the plus side Martinez is looking great between the sticks not sure there is much between him and Leno, he may even be better allround.

Felt like a loss.

Thought you were the better team overall, Kasper kept us in it. I thought the red card was a red card, but it was very harsh (if you get me). I wasn't sure what was happening for our goal, was Perez offside but didn't touch it, or onside but did? Looked really dodgy either way.

Arteta has made you much better, can see you fighting for top 4 next season for sure.

absolutely disgraceful refereeing, once more.

not a single yellow card for them, whilst they foul us with impunity, particularly johnny evans all game.

utterly ridiculous.

that said we should have been out of sight in the first half, if only lacofthreat could it a cows arse.

and to cap it all racist steptoe equalisers as ever.

very frustrating, but still need to remember we are crap and have way too many crap players still.

About as accidental as Vardy's kick to Mustafi's face.

You'll never be able to prove that wasn't because he was falling though, that's the difference. You've just said yourself yours was a clumsy challenge, although it was harsh IMO.

That should have been a red also, there was no reason to twist your body and do a roundhouse kick while he was falling forward.

One of the replies on Twitter made a valid point....

No need for intent. Eddie didnt mean intend to commit his foul but it’s a definite red. This should’ve been the same.

I don't think that is particularly relevant. Both were dangerous play, intent or not. One got a red and the other didn't even get considered. The damage to Mustafi's face doesn't look good.
