EPL: Why Arsenal lost 3-0 to Brighton – Arteta

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has cited “technical errors” his team made as the reason they lost 3-0 to Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

The champions’ winning start to the season ended at the Amex.

Pascal Gross and Charalampos Kostoulas ensured the Seagulls went in at the break with a two-goal advantage, before Chema Andres headed in the third after the break.

“I am really disappointed. In the first 20 or 30 minutes the number of technical errors put us constantly under pressure. It was all related to the start,” Arteta told MOTD.

“It’s a big lesson to learn. What the team has done since the World Cup has been remarkable. But today there is a lot to learn.

“Credit to Brighton for what they have done. I think we were very far from our level. The international break means we have more time to swallow because it’s very, very painful. In any game you can get highly exposed if don’t do what you need to do.”
