Twitter Reacts as Calamitous Arsenal Fall to Embarrassing Europa League Defeat at BATE Borisov

​Ok, so Arsenal have been much improved this season compared to their 2017/18 campaign, but they’re still capable of producing some absolute clangers.

Like Thursday night, for example, when they lost to Belarusian outfit BATE Borisov in the first leg of their round of 32 Europa League tie.
