"You have to give credit to Manchester United. We gave them a goal which is unusual and painful, then they had two brilliant moments with incredible goals,"
"We were not at our best. In the first 30 minutes, we were in total control, scoring a goal, but after that, so many times we gave the ball away in important areas."
"We started to lose control and dominance, and it became a chaotic game. The players deserve a lot of praise for their consistency."
"When we lose a game, I take the responsibility, and I have to protect the players. We just gave it away."
Arsenal lost 3-2 to Manchester United at the Emirates after Matheus Cunha scored an 87th-minute curler following Mikel Merino's equaliser three minutes earlier. Arsenal had taken the lead via a Lisandro Martinez own-goal before Bryan Mbeumo and a stunning Patrick Dorgu strike put United ahead. The defeat marked Arsenal's first Premier League loss at the Emirates since last May and was only the second home league game in which they had trailed this season. Thirty-eight percent of their home league goals conceded this term occurred in this match (3 of 8). Responsibility for the loss was accepted, the margins were described as extremely small, and a reaction was demanded ahead of the next Champions League fixture.
