Sportbible reports that Anthony Gordon was responsible for the Gunners' loss, with his solitary goal the only difference during the tie.

However, many contend the goal should not have stood, considering the massive blunders in its build-up, including the ball seemingly going out of play and Gabi getting fouled.
