EPL: I’m disappointed, says frustrated Arsenal boss Arteta after losing to Man Utd

Arsenal boss, Mikel Artet,a was left frustrated after defeat at Manchester United.

The Gunners lost 3-1, though were denied the opening goal after Gabriel Martinelli’s effort was denied by VAR for a foul by Martin Odegaard in the lead up.

Arteta said: “I am really disappointed to lose the game especially with the way it went over the 95 minutes. We had some big periods where we were totally dominant and in total control. We created chance after chance but did not close the game. In any moment, when they have open spaces, they are ging to hurt you.

“They had three big chances and scored three goals, we have numerous chances and we didn’t score enough. We had a period in the first 18 minutes when we struggle and did not control the game but after that it was all us. We lose the ball in a really difficult place and play a ball in an area we don’t have to and one pass and they are through.

“We should come here and win because of the way we play. Because of the performance and the way we dominated the game.”

On the disallowed goal, he added: “Lack of consistency. One is soft and last week they made a foul on Aaron but it is soft, it is not a foul. There is a foul on Bukayo, it is soft but not a penalty. Today it is a foul. The threshold in the first actions, you could see there is no yellow card because they want to keep a threshold in a big game. Really difficult to understand.”
