Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta commented on the draw with Brentford in the 26th round of the English Premier League.
Idman.Biz reports that the Spanish specialist said that his team lacked composure at the beginning of the match.
According to Arteta, after the first minutes, the Londoners found their playing style, started playing more in the opponent's half and building attacks. In the second half, the pressure increased even more, but the accuracy in the shots was not enough. He stated that after the goal was scored, the game was completely under control.
The head coach emphasized that one episode is enough against such opponents. In his opinion, it is necessary to protect the penalty area with maximum attention and clear the ball. He noted that they failed to do this at one point and that they had to give credit to the opponent.
Arteta added that at the end of the match, both the opponent had a dangerous opportunity and they themselves came close to victory in counterattacks. In particular, he said that the episode with Gabriel Martinelli could have decided the fate of the game.
