But personal mistakes made them pay the price.
Arsenal then suffered a loss when Bukayo Saka was injured and had to leave the field in the 34th minute. This caused their attacks to have significantly reduced damage.
In the second half, Arsenal continued to attack in search of a goal, but the score increased to 2-1 for Lens.

That was also the goal that sealed the comeback victory at home for Lens.
The home team Lens has improved their performance recently and is unbeaten in their last 3 matches.
Meanwhile, the Gunners are having an unbeaten start to the 2023/24 season.
Despite Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus leaving the possibility of playing due to injury, Arsenal clearly has enough depth to field a strong starting lineup and take 3 points in this match.
