Mikel Arteta takes responsibility for humiliating 3-0 home defeat.
Arsenal under Mikel Arteta produced one of the worst performances in his tenure.
The Spaniard admitted that the team should have lost by a bigger margin.
Two second-half goals by Diogo Jota and one by Mohamed Salah tore apart the deep-sitting Gunners side and Arteta believes his side completely deserved to lose the game.
“We completely deserved to lose the game. They were better in every department and deserved to win the game with the margin they had, or even more,” the Spaniard said.
“I accept responsibility for the way we played today. It is my fault. I have to set the team up to perform in a different way and that is it. At the moment I am in shock.
“I didn’t expect that because of the way the team trained. It is a challenge. A challenge brings an opportunity. If you have courage and you represent a club like this, you have to stand up and take it.
