Following their Sunday victory against Manchester United, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, claimed that his team had played too cautious.
The Gunners triumphed 1-0 thanks to a goal from Leandro Trossard.
The goal was scored in the twentieth minute of the Old Trafford match.
In a really challenging situation, we needed a result today. Since there was a lot on the line and we are pleased with the outcome, our past did not favor the outcome today.
“We had a great start to the game and were in control. We scored the goal, and in my opinion, that set off a chain reaction of very cautious, lateral, and backward play with insufficient structure.
“We started giving the ball away in advantageous spots, which puts us at risk against them. But we played solid defense and didn’t give up a lot of points,” Arteta said to BBC Sport.
