Mikel Arteta left ‘very disappointed’ by ‘poor’ Arsenal mistake against Chelsea | OneFootball

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was left “very disappointed” after his side drew with Chelsea and slipped further behind in the Premier League title race.

Gabriel Martinelli broke the deadlock on the hour mark, but their lead only lasted ten minutes as Pedro Neto wandered into the final third and scored from range.

The Gunners boss praised his team’s overall performance but slammed their poor defending for the Chelsea goal.

“The disappointment of not getting three points is bigger [than our satisfaction with the point] and it will probably be bigger after watching it back,” Arteta told Sky Sports.

“I think we dominated them, we were the better team in many phases and situations in the game and after going ahead, very disappointed in the way we conceded. It was so poor. It is not our standards and we don’t accept.”

The Basque native continued: “It is a second phase set piece and we were disorganised. We don’t reorganise quick enough and you can’t allow the pass that way. You need the quality of Neto to do it but our standards were not good enough.”

The result leaves Arsenal nine points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool after 11 games.
