Mikel Arteta has blamed his Arsenal players for letting it be easy in the Premier League game and being forced to draw 1-1 against Chelsea
Speaking after the game, Arteta claimed that his players lost focus after scoring the leading goal and led to not being able to win at Stamford Bridge
The Gunners took the lead thanks to Gabriel Martinelli's powerful shot after the Brazilian received a soft pass from returning captain Martin Odegaard
It took just ten minutes for Chelsea to regain parity thanks to an effort from Pedro Neto
"I think we dominated them, we were the better team for most of the game and after taking the lead, we lost focus by conceding a very easy goal"
"It's not our type of game and it's not acceptable to repeat those kinds of mistakes. We came here to get three points and we didn't"
"We need to reorganize quickly so that we can continue to be hopeful in the championship this season even though we have made our job difficult," he said
