Arsenal’s poor run of form continued on Tuesday night as their Champions League defence began with a 2-1 defeat to Lyon at Meadow Park. The result means the Gunners are now winless in four matches – their longest run without a victory since January 2022. It was an outcome not unusual in this fixture – Arsenal have lost all five of their home matches against the eight-time European champions by a single goal – and on the night, their undoing came down to some familiar failings.
