Mikel Arteta lamented Arsenal's defensive vulnerability early in games as Fulham became the latest team to score a quick goal to put the hosts immediately on the back foot again in Saturday's 2-2 Premier League draw.
"We have this situation a thousand times in football. We gave the ball away in a really dangerous area and it was a really cool finish," Arteta told the BBC. After failing to find the net in the first half, Arteta made changes in the second and he was happy to see substitutes Fabio Vieira and Eddie Nketiah dragging Arsenal back into the game.
"The same with Eddie . It is my fault that Fabio has not played more and today he gave me reasons to play him more."
