Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal are 'up against a big fight' after yet another league defeat leaves them just five points clear of the relegation zone... but defiantly backs the dressing room saying they are 'upset' and 'together'

Arsenal slumped to their eighth defeat of the season against Everton on Saturday, as hopes of turning their season around continue to slip away.

An own goal from Rob Holding and a header from Yerry Mina were enough to give the Toffees the win, lifting them up to second in the Premier League while Arsenal languish down in 15th, just five points above the relegation zone.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admitted his team are 'up against a big fight' on Sky Sports after the game, although says his players are still together and ready to battle.
