It proved to be another nervy weekend for Arsenal supporters.

Against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, the Gunners were pushed to their very limit and almost came away from the game with nothing at all.

In the end, they somehow got their hands on all three points thanks to late goals from Calum Chambers and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but it was far from an easy ride.

Craig Burley was covering the game for ESPN FC, and he predicted that supporters of the north London club should expect many more games like this:

Although Gunners supporters won't like it, Burley is probably right. So far this season, they have already seen 21 goals in their first six matches, which is an average of 3.5 per game. The Premier League average is 2.93, meaning that fans of Unai Emery's side get value for money, even if that sometimes comes from the opposition.

In the last two games, they have seen three goals in the last 10 minutes, and in most of the fixtures they have played this term, the results could have gone either way. They were 2-0 down against Tottenham, before clawing their way back to 2-2, whilst they were on the opposite end of a comeback against Watford. Against the Villans, they were both 1-0 and 2-1 down before fighting their way to victory. Even against Eintracht Frankfurt, they were only 1-0 up until two late goals from Bukayo Saka and Aubameyang gave the scoreline an artificial gloss.

It is great viewing for neutrals, but you get the feeling Emery and the fans would rather see a boring 2-0 victory every week. Indeed, that would give them far more chance of qualification for next year's Champions League but as per Burley's prediction, it seems Arsenal's season will resemble more a Helter-Skelter than a Sunday drive.
