Caught at the end of the match by Manchester City this Sunday (2-2), Arsenal achieved a rather positive result, but the content was quite disappointing. If this is to be weighed taking into account the exclusion of Leandro Trossard just before the break, the Gunners were notably criticized by Manchester City.

Asked about this in a press conference before facing Bolton this Wednesday in the Carabao Cup, Mikel Arteta was keen to defend his players for the low content offered by returning to a match which took place in 2021: “Unfortunately, we have been in the same situation before. We had the same situation with Granit (Xhaka, editor’s note) and we lost 5-0. So we better learn. Otherwise, I would be very stupid.»
