Gabriel Jesus fired Arsenal ahead but Lens hit back to take a precious three points in the Champions League clash.
Arsenal slipped to a first defeat of the season in the Champions League at Lens despite taking the lead through Gabriel Jesus. However, a mistake from goalkeeper David Raya allowed the hosts to equalise before the Gunners suffered another blowThe visitors struggled for attacking inspiration without their talisman on the field, something Lens sensed as the game wore on and which offered the hosts encouragement to attack.
Mikel Arteta responded by throwing on Ben White, Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson and Eddie Nketiah but Arsenal's patient probing came to very little and Lens held on comfortably for a deserved three points on their first Champions League home game for more than 20 years.
