The dismissal of Sokratis Papastathopoulos left Arsenal down a man for the rest of the match. Just seconds after Papastathopoulos was handed the red card, Benjamin Bourigeaud scored a goal with such shear power and accuracy that it seemed to leave Arsenal in confusion against a side with an abudence of energy.
