EPL: We Were Unlucky – Arteta on Arsenal 1-1 Draw with Chelsea

By Seyi Babalola

Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta has said his team dominated Chelsea in Sunday’s 1-1 Premier League match.

Arteta believes the Gunners were “unlucky” to leave Stamford Bridge with just one point.

Gabriel Martinelli had given the visitors the lead by squeezing the ball in from a tight angle.

But Pedro Neto was given space to drill in an equalizer from distance.

Arteta, speaking to BBC Sport, said: “I am very disappointed but very proud as well with what I have seen from the team again.

“We did the most difficult one to score the first goal but very disappointed with the way we conceded. The standards and our defensive habits were nowhere near. They have quality and if you give them space they are going to punish you.

“But then the team reacted in a way that was fabulous with the desire to win, show initiative, take risks and be so dominant but we didn’t manage to score the [winning] goal.

“They destroy every team that comes here in every way, but I thought we were superb. We were very unlucky. We have dominated one of the best teams in Europe but we don’t get the results. That is what is missing.”
