Last minute goals have been scored in the last six games that Arsenal have played. Gael Clichy struck a late consolation for the Gunners at Stoke City, whilst Cesc Fabregas notched an equaliser for them at Sunderland.
Emmanuel Adebayor scored late on against West Ham, and Theo Walcott netted in the dying moments to crown a 3-1 victory over Everton.
But, worringly for Arsene Wenger, the opposition has found Arsenal's defence easier to breach at the end of games.
Rafael da Silva notched for Manchester United last Saturday, whilst Gunners fans will probably have already tried to forget about Aaron Lennon's dramatic equaliser in the North London derby.
And Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted he has no idea why it is happening, but it certainly isn't doing his health any favours.
“I believe that it’s a coincidence but it’s not very good for my heart,” quipped the Frenchman.
“We have chased the game many times and we can score late and we can concede late goals, like we did against Tottenham and at Sunderland for example.
“I don’t know why though, there is no real rational explanation. You could say that sometimes you feel the game is won like against Tottenham. Sometimes we have to chase the game, throw everything forward and then we score late."
Wenger will hope for a more comfortable time when his side entertain Aston Villa at the Emirates this weekend.
