A breakdown of Arsenal’s performance on the night showed that the Unai Emery's side had a total of 16 shots at goal, but only three of the shots hit target, while their hosts BATE took six shots and scored from one.
Arsenal were forced to play the closing moments with one-man less after a late red card for Alexandre Lacazette – for elbowing an opponent and also had a goal during the encounter disallowed - to sum up a poor night for the Gunners.
