Arteta – There were positives from Arsenal defeat

Arsenal lost 2-0 in the North London derby to Tottenham Hotspur.

Mikel Arteta’s side came up short but the coach wants to look at the positives and has identified a lack of goal threat has to be solved immediately.

“You look at all the stats, they’re in our favour, but at the end of the day it’s about putting the ball in the net,” Arteta told a media conference afterwards.

“We had the chances. We had generated probably more than ever this season, put the ball in the box more than ever, had the numbers there.

“But at the end of the day we have to score the goals, and when they had a half chance they scored, and at the moment we haven’t. To build something, you need results.

“I take a lot of positives for the way we played, when we come here in this moment and play with the personality, the courage, the passion, the energy and the belief the boys showed.

“At the end it’s a football match and you have to win it, and we lost again today.”

Arsenal are on 13 points after 11 games, their worst ever start to a Premier League season.
