Questions were raised the moment the lineup was announced. Why was David Raya — the man behind Arsenal’s nine-point league lead — on the bench? Instead, Arteta chose Ke-pa Arri-za-balaga.

Yet hesitation from Kepa proved fatal. The ball slipped loose… and waiting there… was Nico O'Reilly. One touch. One goal.
