Sevilla’s latest managerial change has come at the worst possible time for Arsenal

Sevilla were struggling this season under Jose Luis Mendilibar but drew with Real Madrid under Diego Alonso and pose a renewed threat

Arsenal’s Champions League group is shaping up to be a curious one. With Mikel Arteta’s team in second place in Group B as we head into the third round of fixtures, Ligue 1 strugglers Lens lead the way, while rampant Eredivisie league-leaders PSV have some catching up to do despite nine consecutive wins and just three goals conceded — two of which were penalties — to kick off the Dutch campaign.

They might have conceded 21 shots, losing the ball in their own defensive third 13 times, but more composed heads saw Girona play through wild pressure time and time again, eventually taking all three points with a crisp passing move, starting from the defence. Particularly in games against technically sound teams, Sevilla lacked that precision and their intensity became predictable.
