Immediately after, Koscielny somehow deflected the ball right into his own net. Another own goal! 4-2! It was exactly the 68th minute! The Blackburn fans at Ewood Park Stadium went absolutely wild with joy! They couldn't believe it even if it killed them—the Arsenal players were continuously handing out gifts. Two own goals, a failed offside trap, and a defensive blunder on a corner kick. This was no longer just an ordinary defeat. It was an absolute rout!

Wenger made consecutive substitutions! Vermaelen came on for Traore, and Pogba replaced Jenkinson. After the two changes, Arsenal shifted to a three-center-back formation, amassing their forces in the midfield. Arteta dropped back to form a double pivot with Alexandre Song, sitting behind the pairing of Pogba and De Bruyne. Through these substitutions, Wenger made his resolve crystal clear to the players on the pitch: he would never give up!
