When asked at his post-match press conference if the Gunners are lacking courage because of the pressure of the title race, Arteta responded: "I didn't feel that. I think I would have felt it at the beginning of the game. I didn't have that feeling. What I did feel was that when we fell behind it we lacked threat and more capacity to go and hurt them.

"We weren't consistent enough and when we gave the ball away we were in transition and allowed them to run or sustain attacks. I think we gave 17 or 18 free-kicks which stops the game constantly and that was not a good outcome for us."
