Lens 2-1 Arsenal: Elye Wahi scores and assists as Lens come from behind to beat Gunners

Elye Wahi starred as French side Lens came from behind to shock Arsenal in the Champions League.

Wahi's first-time finish into the bottom left corner from a Przemyslaw Frankowski cross in the 69th minute saw the home side seal a notable success.

The below-par Gunners rode some early pressure from Lens before Gabriel Jesus claimed a 14th-minute opener from a through-ball from Bukayo Saka, who then went off injured.

Lens levelled 11 minutes later as Adrien Thomasson curled a superb finish into the far corner.

As Arsenal suffered their first loss of the season on a difficult night, they suffered another blow before Sunday's crunch Premier League meeting with Manchester City as England forward Saka went off after just 33 minutes.
