Mikel Arteta delivered a scathing assessment of Arsenal's performance after their loss to Brighton, asserting that his team failed to "respect the game" during the match. The Gunners suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season, with Brighton emerging victorious 3-0. Arteta's discontent extended beyond the result, as he praised Brighton's superior performance and highlighted areas where Arsenal struggled technically.
Arteta criticized Arsenal's possession game, particularly in their own half, stating that they were "extremely poor technically" and did not apply the necessary principles when facing a pressing team. Arsenal must learn from this defeat and avoid making the same mistakes again, Arteta emphasized.
