Rollercoaster ride is the right word for Arsenal if one were to describe their journey in the previous year. They went on to tick all the boxes to win the FA Cup but now a few months down the line, the Gunners are facing relegation. Now their home defeat against Burnley in the EPL 2020-21 by 1-0 has come in as a rude shock for all the fans. Any side which has less than two wins above the drop zone in December is qualified to be in the relegation fight. It was an own goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang that actually gifted away the game to Burnley and thus Arsenal landed in the hot waters and the fans started reacting on social media.
