Arteta Reacts As Arsenal Lose Big Lead Over Man City

Arteta Reacts As Arsenal Lose Big Lead Over Man City

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta shared his feelings after seeing his team lose their six-point lead over Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Gunners' squandered yet another 2-0 advantage as West Ham United fought back to take a point in their league encounter against their London rivals on the weekend, having done similar against Liverpool at Anfield two weeks ago. 

Goals from Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen reduced Arsenal's lead at the top of the table to just four points, with City still having a game in hand. 

Speaking after the game, Arteta said he believes his team lacked intention after starting the game in "total control". 

"Very disappointing," he said, according to the Daily Mirror

"The way we started was superb again, we were in total control, then we lost purpose. We gave them hope, conceded a terrible penalty, then credit to them.

"We got on the roller coaster where everything is going, corners and throw-ins, and we never got away from that.

"The purpose we needed for third and fourth goal, I didn't see it."
