Arsenal were able to match Manchester City, before finally losing 1-4. Mikel Arteta highlighted a series of incidents that punished Arsenal.

“This is a difficult result to accept considering how the game is going. Rivals of this level, when you only score goals, the game is impossible. A lot of strange things happen in each game and that makes things very difficult.”
“We have to reverse this situation, there is no doubt about the schedule we have, it will determine our season. Based on what we show tonight against difficult opponents, I have fighters in the team. Yes, I have fighters,” Mikel continued. Arteta.
