On Sunday, Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a crucial double to secure a 2-2 draw against Norwich City in Freddie Ljungberg's first game as caretaker manager.
Despite being without a Premier League win for six games, their longest streak within a season since 1994, Arsenal showed resilience to return to London with a point.
Freddie Ljungberg, a member of Arsenal's 'Invincibles' who won the title in 2003-04 without losing a game, expressed his disappointment at not securing a win but acknowledged the positive aspects of the game.
'I want this club to do well, it is only winning that counts,' Ljungberg said.
'I wanted to win the game so I am disappointed but I have also seen some positive things.'
The visitors began the game in sprightly fashion but their fragility was exposed after 21 minutes when Teemu Pukki was allowed far too much time to control the ball and turn before his low shot crept past Bernd Leno.
Norwich's lead was short-lived, however, as Arsenal were awarded a penalty after Christoph Zimmermann's handball.
Aubameyang's first attempt was saved by Tim Krul, but a VAR check showed the Norwich players had encroached into the area before the kick was taken, and a re-take was ordered.
Despite Krul's attempts to distract Aubameyang, the striker calmly angled his kick into the corner.
Arsenal began to dominate but were caught on the counter-attack in first-half stoppage time, and Todd Cantwell's slide-rule finish had the Carrow Road faithful celebrating again.
Aubameyang fired in from close range following a corner to level again in the 57th minute, but it was Norwich who looked the more likely winners, with Leno making several good saves.
Norwich manager Daniel Farke expressed his disappointment at not securing three points, attributing some of it to a 'world-class' Bernd Leno.
Farke also acknowledged that four points from two games was a 'quite good' start for the team.
