Arsenal script yet another unwanted record

The match was played in a competitive manner throughout.

Both the teams had a fair bit of possession and each had more than 10 shots.

The teams had equal number of shots on target (two), with both failing to find the back of the net.

While Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang squandered Arsenal's best chance, the hosts too had some good chances, as Arsenal's defense survived.

As Arsenal hit a new low since 1912-13, their tenure under Mikel Arteta has been far from impressive.

So far, the club has scored just three wins under him in nine matches, including five draws.

Although they have lost just a game under him, dropping points in the form of draws is not helping their cause either, as they lurk on the 10th spot.

Post the match, Arteta blamed the conditions at Turf Moor for the pale draw which Arsenal suffered, as he felt that the grass was not watered properly, making it difficult to play.

"I didn't water the pitch yesterday at the training ground because I expected it, but that doesn't make it any easier to play," he said.

As of now, Arsenal are 42 points behind league leaders Liverpool, as the title race is over this season.

Meanwhile, they take on Newcastle United next on February 16 at home, as they would be eyeing a place in the top five.

While they are 10 points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, they are six short of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
