London's "Arsenal" team suffered their second failure in the English Premier League on Monday night.
The team trained by Unai Emery failed the exam of "Sheffield United" team - failure by a minimal margin. After the loss, "Arsenal" dropped to fifth position.
The strategist of the "Gunners" admitted after the match that the team did not play up to its abilities, but also did not deserve the loss.
"We didn't deserve this defeat. In the first half, we earned many corner kicks, but after a standard situation, our opponents scored instead of us - if they succeeded on their first attempt," said U. Emery.
"We attacked more, had many chances, but couldn't score. We deserved more from this match, although it's difficult to come back to the game after conceding a goal against a team that has the best defense in the league this season.
We tried, didn't give up, and in the second half we had three good chances to score. There were two key moments in this match - their goal and the moment when a clear penalty was not awarded against Sokratis," added the strategist.
