Arsenal dropped costly points in the race for Europe on Saturday afternoon.
A 1-1 draw against Burnley means the Gunners' already slim chances of a top-four finish in the Premier League are all but over and qualification for next season's Champions League, in all likelihood, hinges on winning the Europa League.
Meanwhile, participating in the latter in 2021/22 is far from certain with Arsenal seven points off seventh spot - prior to West Ham United's clash against Leeds United on Monday night.
Despite taking the lead at Turf Moor thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's sixth-minute goal, the visitors couldn't score an all-important second and were punished for it.
Burnley's equaliser came about in bizarre fashion when Granit Xhaka received the ball from Bernd Leno in his own penalty box and attempted to switch the ball out to his right-hand side in the direction of David Luiz.
However, the Swiss did not get enough on his attempted pass and could only watch on in horror as the ball cannoned against Chris Wood's hip and into the back of Leno's net.
During the game at Turf Moor, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta was seen on camera reacting to how his team were getting on before and after Xhaka's mistake.
While the frustration on the Spaniard's face was visible, he managed to stay relatively calm as he turned towards the Arsenal bench.
However, the same can't be said about Albert Stuivenberg - one of Arteta's assistants.
At around the 3.08-minute mark in Arsenal's 'Bench Cam' video uploaded to YouTube, the Dutchman reacts to Xhaka's mistake by slamming his hand down in anger.
With that said, Arteta refused to openly blame Xhaka for the error in his post-match press conference.
"It can happen in football. We did it using Bernd [Leno] and trying to use the holding midfielder in that situation. We scored a goal from Auba [Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang] all the way from Bernd Leno," Arteta said.
"We conceded one chance and that comes from Bernd Leno deciding to kick the ball long and we could not control the second ball with an open structure.
"It’s what it is, it’s the way we play, it’s the way I want to play and we just have to know the risk and the rules that we have in certain areas and the types of balls we have to play.
"But it is what it is."
