Rennes 3-1 Arsenal: Sokratis red card costs Gunners in France164 Friday, March 8th 2019 at 06:43 GMT +3 | Friday, March 8th 2019 at 06:43 GMT +3 | Sports By Mirror:Aubameyang appeared short on confidence with a poor performance [Courtesy]Arsenal will need to come from behind again to keep their Europa League campaign alive after a 3-1 defeat to Rennes. But a red card for Sokratis just before half-time and a goal from the hosts moments later turned the game on its head. Sokratis costs GunnersSokratis Papastathopoulos cost Arsenal dearly with his clumsy red card just before half-time. He was unfortunate to be withdrawn early in the second half for Matteo Guendouzi in a necessary tactical switch after the red card. A red card for Sokratis clearly changed the game, but a Rennes side sitting 10th in Ligue 1 were rightly unfancied against Emery's side.
