Arsenal look 'lost' and Takehiro Tomiyasu 'made a nuisance of himself to his own team' in midfield switch, claims Jamie Redknapp... as he takes aim at Mikel Arteta's tactics in defeat by Fulham

Jamie Redknapp has questioned Mikel Arteta's approach after Arsenal slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Fulham.

He took particular issue with Arsenal's midfield, claiming they lacked creative purpose and that left-back Takehiro Tomiyasu caused trouble stepping inside as an inverted full-back.

Arsenal lost a third league game in five despite Bukayo Saka's fifth-minute opener as goals from Raul Gimenez and Bobby Decordova-Reid helped a resurgent Fulham overpower them.

Mikel Arteta opted to have his full-backs sit more centrally in the midfield rather than out wide, a decision which Redknapp thinks hampered them.
