Arsenal suffer shock defeat in Lens as Bukayo Saka limps off againBy Mark Mann-Bryans, PAArsenal suffered a turbulent night in the Champions League as Bukayo Saka hobbled off during defeat in Lens. Gabriel Jesus thought he had given the Gunners lift-off when he broke the deadlock with his 22nd Champions League goal. This was a first home Champions League game in 21 years for Lens and their fans were not going to miss the opportunity to enjoy the occasion. For the third game in a row, Saka then limped off injured having gone down off the ball. Lens would take the lead through Wahi, whose sweeping finish past Raya came after another break down the right flank.
