RC Lens 2-1 Arsenal

 

We suffered our first defeat of the season, despite Gabriel Jesus giving us a first-half lead in a fervent atmosphere in Lens on Tuesday.

The Brazilian finished clinically into the corner to fire us ahead against last season’s Ligue 1 runners-up, but they bounced back to score either side of the interval through Adrien Thomasson and Elye Wahi.

We came close in the second-half, notably through Takehiro Tomiyasu and Reiss Nelson, but Lens battled to take the points.
