When you think of the problems that Arsenal had, not just before the game but more in the game, the changes that they had to make, the makeshift back four at the end with the young kid [Myles Lewis-Skelly] coming on at left back, I actually expected them to create a lot more in the second half.’

Arsenal went into Sunday’s game without injured captain Martin Odegaard, while star centre back William Saliba was serving a one-match suspension following his red card against Bournemouth last weekend.

 

The Gunners then lost their other first-choice central defender in the 54th minute on Sunday when Gabriel Magalhaes was taken off with an injury.

Left back Jurrien Timber also went off when he was replaced by Lewis-Skelly on 76 minutes.

Despite Arsenal’s injury issues, manager Mikel Arteta was adamant that his team should have taken all three points.

‘The team played so well, we were dominant and very determined. Really aggressive and played in the right areas to create some big chances. We are open in transition for the second goal. Against this team, you cannot do that if you want to win the game.
