League position: 5th Ainsley Maitland-Niles became the first Arsenal player to be sent-off in the first-half of a game in the Premier League since Konstantinos Mavropanos after 15 minutes at Leicester City on 9 May 2018. The Gunners had now conceded three or more goals in three consecutive games in the top division for the first time since November 1967 in League Division One. This was the first time that they had lost a game in the Premier League that had kicked-off at 12 noon (played 20, won 15).
