Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has castigated the basic shortcomings of his players after the rout suffered against Bournemouth this Saturday in the Premier League.
Arsenal lost to Bournemouth (1-2) at home this Saturday in the Premier League. Three lost points that the Gunners could bitterly regret as the final sprint is in full swing.
Accounting, the current leader of the English championship is not immune to seeing a new crown escape him. Indeed, its runner-up Manchester City is nine points behind with two games in hand, including a match against Mikel Arteta’s men in just over a week, after 30 days played out of a total of 38.
“A big punch in the face”
In the post-match conference, the Spanish coach admitted that this result was “a big punch in the face”. Arteta also admitted his team lacked fundamentals. “There were some very basic things that we did extremely poorly today. It can happen, it’s football. It hurts, you have to take the hit. We have to get up and fight. Know how to react to this »he admitted to journalists.
For their part, Manchester City will meet on the Chelsea pitch this Saturday afternoon. The Skyblues could take advantage of this to reduce their gap on the Emirates and achieve a third success in a row.
