Traveling to Arsenal this Wednesday,
AS Monaco was unable to stand up to the Premier League leader (3-0). The cause was several errors, particularly in the second half, which condemned Adi Hütter’s men.
Only trailing 1-0 at the break, the Monegasques gave the Gunners the break goal after a defensive blunder which Bukayo Saka took advantage of to score a double. At the end of the meeting, Eliesse Ben Seghir, versatile ASM striker, did not hide his disappointment at this poor performance.
“We need to do more to achieve our goals”
“Our biggest regret is the mistakes that cost us dearly. We did well with the 1-0 at halftime, we came back with better intentions in the second, we pushed but we made mistakes that killed us. We knew we were going to play against a big player from Europe, we aspire to become one, so we will work to improve and do better in these types of matches. We are well underway, we are not going to take away what we have done before, but we must do more to achieve our objectives,” declared the Moroccan international at the microphone of Canal +.
Now 16th in the league phase, the Principality club remains in a play-off position despite this defeat. The Assémists will try to bounce back on January 21 when they host Aston Villa at the Louis II stadium.
