While Wenger remains optimistic, Arteta admitted that the failure to convert decisive chances had been costly against City.
Looking back on the match and the five remaining matches, the Spaniard analyzed: “It’s a very disappointing result, and the way he intervened is just as disappointing. We put in a very good performance, we fully invested in the match, we equalized after being behind. Emotionally, we managed the meeting well and we led it at our own pace. We had the best chances, we didn’t take them, and that made the difference. »
Asked about these missed opportunities, the Spaniard said: “It’s a bit of both, because we created some great opportunities against a team that conceded very few, and we approached the match in the right way. But, in the end, winning or not winning comes down to details: when they had their chances, they converted them, and that’s what made the difference.
We missed the chance to win today, but we proved what we can do, how we will fight and the level of the team. We have five matches left to play; It’s a new Premier League that’s starting: they have a game in hand and we’re three points ahead, so here we go. »
