Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to say that his players must be more ruthless in front of goal. He recently revealed that even if he was pleased with the way his team threatened Benfica, they should’ve won the match.
According to him, Arsenal were very dominant in the Europa League clash, so it was very painful when his boys conceded the goal via a penalty.
He added that his players need to score more when presented with a goalscoring opportunity because that is how to kill off games.
His words “We were very dominant and created some big chances. We have to be more ruthless.”
“It was disappointing the way we conceded the goal. We gave them the ball then it was 1-1 and all to play for.”
“We conceded a corner then from the corner we did not react quick enough and conceded the penalty. Looking at it it’s difficult to judge. We had a great reaction and scored a great goal.”
“We tried to maintain the level. Both teams dropped in the last 20 minutes. But overall we should leave the ground with more.”
