Any hopes of some Reiss Nelson-esque fightback were extinguished before too long. Jakub Kiwior, who had looked ill at ease from the moment he was thrust in as the right center back, undercooked a back pass. Evanilson beat Raya to the ball, got the knock and won the penalty. Kluivert converted.

David Raya was surprisingly not sent off by referee Rob Jones after bringing down Evanilson during Arsenal's game against Bournemouth on October 19.

William Saliba became the third Arsenal player to see red this season after the defender was sent for a last-man challenge on Bournemouth's Evanilson.
