League position: 2nd . Arsenal avoided losing consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2024. . This was the lastest that the Gunners had trailed in a game in the Premier League (84th minute) before going on to win since a 3-1 victory against Norwich City on 13 April 2013 (85th minute). . They had failed to win any of their preceding 13 games in the Premier League when they had been trailing at half time since March 2023 against AFC Bournemouth (lost seven). . Arsenal were awarded a penalty in the 14th minute but was reversed after a VAR review as it was ruled that no foul had been committed.
