Arsenal once again went down to 10 men in 2022 as Gabriel Martinelli received two yellow cards in quick succession against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Gunners relied on another Brazilian to give them the lead as Gabriel Magalhaes poked home following a corner, with Mikel Arteta's men proceeding to try to shut up shop for the remainder of the contest.
However, after Arteta had bemoaned his side's indiscipline before the contest, Arsenal picked up their fourth red card from six games in 2022 as Martinelli was given his marching orders by Michael Oliver.
The attacker first shoved Daniel Podence as he attempted to stop the Wolves man taking a quick throw-in before bundling over Chiquinho, and he received both yellow cards in one go during a frantic 15 seconds.
Just like that, Arsenal are down to 10-men!
