Arsenal Set Unwanted Premier League Record Against Huddersfield

Arsenal Set Unwanted Premier League Record Against Huddersfield

By Max Wise

Arsenal might have gone unbeaten in their last 21 games in all competitions after Saturday's hard-fought 1-0 victory over Huddersfield at the Emirates, but the wrong arm of the law caught up with three of their key players.

Granit Xhaka, Matteo Guendouzi and Shkodran Mustafi all found their way into Referee Paul Tierney's book for the same offence- Diving.

This marks the first time in the Premier League since the 2006/2007 season, that as many players from one side have been booked for simulation.

It just goes to show how the Gunners suffered to earn this priceless victory which was given to them courtesy Lucas Torreira's fantastic bicycle kick seven minutes to full time.

Arsenal have also not led at halftime in any of their 16 premier league games this season.
