Arteta Reacts After Everton Defeat 

Everton recorded a 2-1 win over Arsenal on Monday night courtesy of Richarlison and Demarai Gray.

Martin Odegaard opened the scoring for Arsenal just before halftime.

The Gunners have now lost two consecutive Premier League matches against Manchester United and Everton.

Arteta has expressed his disappoinment after another damaging loss.

"I'm very disappointed. I think in the first half we were inconsistent with the ball ... we didn't have enough penetration or threat on the opponents' goal," Arteta said.

"One of the few times we did it we scored a goal from Martin and then in the second half we had to grab the game ... but again, in moments we were sloppy.

"We gave too many balls away too easily and encouraged them against the movement that they had in the press."

"The few times that we did break the press we were open on goal, but we have to do it much more consistently," Arteta added.

"We created four big, big chances, and when you don't put them in the net away from home it's very complicated to win the game, especially if you concede in the way that we did for example with the first goal."

Arsenal welcome Southampton to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
