The oldest debutante of Arsenal in more than 110 years made a monumental error to give Girona an advantage in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Net, making his first appearance for Gunners at the age of 35 and 194 days, he was instead of regular No 1 David Raya.
But it was a debut to forget when his position was wrong totally just before the half -hour mark.
Neto ran out of his target and found himself on the earth without handle, which forced him to try an immersion to 25 yards of the goal.
In the end, former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Arnaut Danjuma placed himself to give Girona a 1-0 advantage.
“Net, now I understand why this is your first appearance for us,” wrote a Arsenal fan on social networks.
“Neto was out of the box and still tried to catch him with his hands,” said another.
Arsenal seemed disarticulated at the beginning of this clash in Spain after Chief Mikel Arteta made seven changes.
Brazilian Shot-Stopper Net received his competitive debut for the club, while the defense reorganized to include Jakub Kiwior and Thomas Party, who was deployed on the right side.
Riccardo Calafiori, who scored the winner in Wolves, and Gabriel completed the defense. Gabriel was in the appearance of Gunners 200.
Question signs will be asked why net decided to run from goal with Danjuma to explode in open space after the Arsenal attack disintegrated.
