It’s a setback for Arsenal. This Saturday as part of the 11th day of the Premier League, the Gunners lost on the Newcastle lawn with a score of 1 goal to 0. It was the Englishman Anthony Gordon who gave the Magpies the 3 points.
With this defeat, the Londoners temporarily remain in third place pending the meetings of Liverpool and Aston Villa this Sunday. This setback against Newcastle goes very badly for Mikel Arteta.
For the Spanish coach, Newcastle’s goal should not have been validated by the referee. In the post-match press conference, the technician referees. “We have to talk about the result because we have to talk about the way this goal was scored and it’s incredible. I feel embarrassed, but I have to be the one who comes here to try to defend the club and ask for help, because it’s an absolute shame that this goal was allowed, it’s an absolute shame. »
Before continuing: » There is no goal for many reasons. We’ve tried so hard, it’s so difficult to compete at this level, and it’s an absolute shame. Once again, I’m embarrassed, I spent more than 20 years in this country and we are far from the level of what can be described as the best championship in the world, I’m sorry. »
Objective: bounce back in the Champions League
THE Gunners must erase the defeat against Newcastle and look towards the Champions League which arrives this week. This Wednesday, Mikel Arteta’s players host Sevilla FC at the Emirates Stadium for the 4th day of the group stage.
First in Group B with six points on the clock, the London club can take a big step towards qualifying for the round of 16 in the event of a victory against the Spaniards. A success is therefore essential to quickly find shelter in this group.
