A marked improvement for the 2021/22 season saw Arsenal reclaim their place in the top 5, finishing 5th with 69 points, despite the departure of former golden boy and team captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
During the season Arsenal played a total of 45 matches with a win rate of just under 58%, missing out on the Europa League this year after a change in the competition’s distribution rules.
They had to pull out of the Florida Cup due to COVID cases, and were disappointingly knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round by Nottingham Forest, but they made it to the semi finals of the EFL Cup, eventually going out to Liverpool.
