ARSENAL have made the worst start in their 118-year history after defeat to Chelsea.

 LONDON, UK

Arsenal simply had no answer to Chelsea as they were beaten 2-0 at home with Romelu Lukaku marking his return by scoring the opener.

Arteta is under pressure after Arsenal's worst start to a season

This is the first time EVER the Gunners have opened a season with two defeats and no goals scored.

Arsenal slumped to a dismal opening defeat at newly-promoted Brentford and followed it up by being outclassed by Chelsea.

It is also the first time Arsenal have been in the relegation zone after more than one game in a season since August 1992.

Mikel Arteta has lost 20 matches in the Premier League from just 60 games.

His record compares badly to Arsene Wenger with the legendary former boss taking charge of 116 games before his 20th defeat.
