Mikel Arteta has some words about the robbery yesterday

Following a disappointing 2-0 loss to West Ham, Mikel Arteta emphasized the need for improvement for Arsenal. With the controversial VAR-reviewed goal and Mavropanos’s subsequent goal, Arsenal lost a vital chance to take the lead in the Premier League. Although West Ham is four points outside the top four, Arteta, who is aware of the setback, is concentrating on getting back up for the next game against Fulham. Arsenal is still in a strong position despite this setback, and Arteta wants to motivate the group for a quick turnaround in play.

After the game, Arteta spoke with the BBC about the team’s strong desire to win and emphasized the importance of working as a team. The disappointing evening motivates the Gunners to evaluate and get ready for the upcoming challenges, with Arteta hoping for a comeback in their next match against Fulham.

When questioned about the contentious opening, he went on, saying, “It is what it is.” Our current technology does not provide enough clarity when the ball is out.

He said, “We dominated for one hundred minutes.” “We had players inside the box who were completely free in critical situations. I believe the players gave it their all. Although it’s challenging in the locker room right now, we have another game in two days. This is football; there are things we need to work on.

“it is a shame that with the technology we have that it’s not that clear.”
