Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, has commented on their 2-2 Premier League tie with Fulham on Saturday.
After goals from Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah offset Andreas Pereira's opening goal, the Gunners appeared to be cruising to victory.
Nevertheless, Palhinha scored a late equalizer for the home team, who had been reduced to 10 men following Calvin Bassey's dismissal.
Arteta attributed the lack of focus to the two missed points.
"With all the effort we put in, the situations we created, chance after chance, the boys' attitude, and the way the substitutes came on, the game is over when you go up 2-1, with 10 men," he said in an interview with Sky.
If you want to win in the Premier League, you must defend that box with your life after giving the ball away or conceding a corner, and we didn't do that well.
