London's "Arsenal" has not pleased their fans in the English Premier League for three consecutive rounds. The "Gunners" unexpectedly squandered a two-goal lead on Sunday and allowed "Watford", who is currently at the bottom of the table, to equalize.
In the first half, "Arsenal" led with a score of 2-0 after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's brace, but "The Hornets" came back strongly after the break and managed to make it 2-2. In the second half, "Arsenal" essentially had more chances to lose than to win.
After the match, Unai Emery took responsibility for the dropped points and added that the young footballers can learn from such matches.
"We have several young players who need this kind of experience, like today," - U. Emery said at the press conference. - "Matteo is very young and emotional. Sometimes he needs to make mistakes in order to learn from them. In the first half, he made a mistake, but 'Watford' did not capitalize."
Commenting on the events in the second half, U. Emery said: "It was difficult because the opponents used high pressure. If we had managed to break their press and deliver the ball to our defenders, we could have found space on their half."
However, we were unable to control the match and escape from their pressure. "Watford" is a great team and they proved it in the second half. At half time, we talked about calmness, but we couldn't implement it. We need to work on improving our game."
"Arsenal" will face "Aston Villa" in England next weekend.
