EPL: Why Arsenal lost 2-0 to Aston Villa – Arteta

Following their 2-0 loss against Aston Villa on Sunday, Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has pointed out the mistakes made by his players.

The Gunners failed to regain the top spot in the Premier League thanks to goals from Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins.

Speaking with Sky Sports, Arteta remarked, “Two very different performances. The first half was superb; one of the best halves we have played against a top team. It should have been three or four – or more.

“We didn’t put that score line up and didn’t reflect that second half. We lacked momentum. We didn’t have the flow we had in the first half, and then we conceded two very poor goals.

“Credit to them, in the second half we were a bit unprecise with the ball, we weren’t able to do what we did in the first half. In the end we lost it so we have to congratulate them on the points.”

In the race for the title, Arteta’s team now has to catch up to leaders Manchester City.
