After yesterday's defeat against Liverpool's Everton, Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger criticized his players' defense. Although Alexis Sanchez had brought the Gunners ahead, precise headers from Seamus Coleman and Ashley Williams determined the final score of 2-1. According to the Frenchman, the capital's footballers did not stick to the game plan set before the match. "We knew exactly what was going on, and the first goal was exactly what we planned not to do," Wenger told Arsenal Media. "We have to look at ourselves because we were punished for not respecting the rules we agreed upon before the game." "We started the match well and controlled it. Then we lost a bit of determination, and Everton turned the game into a physical one." "From that moment on, we didn't fulfill several tasks that we are not used to neglecting. They really disrupted our game and played like in a real cup tie, and in the end, we just conceded two headers from defenders." "We could expect Lukaku to shine against us, but not to concede two goals like we did now." Because of this failure, Arsenal can now release the leader of the English championship, Chelsea, by several points.
