3. Timber injury a sour note
After such a scintillating first half, the dreaded injury bug struck Arsenal just minutes into the second half. Jurrien Timber went down in what was an innocuous incident.

Timber dropped down to the ground and looked to be holding his knee. When players go down under no contact, there will always be a cause for concern and given it is the first league game of the season and Timber’s debut, it isn’t ideal.
