He also said that feels extremely disappointed with the outcome, but also said that the players are the ones to blame, especially for the performance in the second half.
“I'm extremely disappointed, obviously, with the result, with the way the game ended. But we have to blame ourselves, I think, in the performance in the second half.
“We didn't show anything close to the standards that are required in this league to win, with a margin that I think should have existed today, especially in the manner that we played the first half.
Arteta was clearly angry with this kind of collapse as they have secured win in just two of their last seven games in the League and said that they must make a comeback with a bang on performance in the North London derby against Tottenham on Sunday.
