There was plenty to discuss in Mikel Arteta’s post-match press conference on Saturday. The discussion was dominated by Declan Rice’s red card, but the boss was also asked about the game in general, missed chances, Raheem Sterling and injuries. Here’s a full transcript…
On his thoughts on the game…
It was a very emotional afternoon, for sure. We started the game really well, created three or four chances that we didn’t convert. After that we had a period with some issues, particularly with the ball and we lacked some dominance in that period. We then score a really good goal in a moment when we take advantage of the opponent.
