Arsenal defeated Everton, Arteta: We were unlucky

DBasia.news – Arsenal suffered a 1-2 defeat to Everton in the 14th week of the English League 2020/2021 at Goodison Park, Sunday (12/20/2020), am.

Carlo Ancelotti’s team won 2-1 with an own goal from Rob Holding (22 ‘) and Yerry Mina (45’) which Nicolas Pepe (35 ‘) replied. Arsenal’s position is now getting closer to the relegation zone.

The Gunners are currently 15th in the standings with 14 points from 14 matches. If Brighton & Hove Albion win their Week 14 Premier League match then Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and colleagues will drop to 16th in the standings.

The negative period and Arsenal’s position has put pressure on Mikel Arteta who would most likely be sacked. Nevertheless Arteta is still optimistic that the players are fighting to get out of this negative period.

“Without suffering many chances we lost in two important moments,” Arteta told Sky Sports. “We reacted well. We dominated the game. We created enough chances at least not to lose. Our chances hit the crossbar. We had no luck.”

“We were in a big fight. We lost against Burnley without a shot on target, and now we lost because of several chances.”

“It’s difficult when you play a team that is low in defense and waste time. We made it difficult for ourselves to concede the first goal. I think we had 15 shots but only two were on target. We need to increase our pace, that’s the reality.”

“We need to produce more to win football games. When it comes to small details, other teams want more. The players are really still fighting. They are injured now.”

According to Squawka Arsenal have now lost eight times in the Premier League. Only Sheffield United (on one point) have lost more times (12 times). Arsenal also recorded the worst record.

14 points from 14 games is the worst points achieved by Arsenal in the Premier League since the league occurred in the 1974-1975 season (12 points).

Not only did Arteta make a bad record with Arsenal’s new club signing from Chelsea, Willian has also been in the spotlight. The Brazilian winger produced the worst performance and was made helpless by Everton’s defense.

Still from Squawka, Willian failed to release a single shot on target, fire a cross (on target), finish a successful dribble, make a tackle or winn the 90 minute duel against Everton

In total from 15 matches with Arsenal in the Europa League and Premier League this season, Willian has only shot one shot on target. His performance is much different from when he was at Chelsea.
