""We obviously wanted to win the game, we knew the game was going to be very tough and very close as well, from the way that they play," Arteta told BBC Match of the Day. "We created four big, big, big chances and a clear penalty, but we weren't able to win the game. "I've just seen the replays, I think it's a clear intention to clear the ball inside, and it's a clear penalty, so I don't understand why it's not been given.""
""We could've been better, but as well, this is happening all around the league for every single team," Arteta added. "We have to improve"
Arsenal drew 0-0 with Nottingham Forest, missing the chance to move nine points clear after Manchester City's earlier defeat and instead extending the lead to seven. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus had efforts saved by Matz Sels, and Gabriel Martinelli missed a point-blank opportunity. An 80th-minute handball by Ola Aina was reviewed by VAR and dismissed when the arm was judged to be in a natural position. Mikel Arteta called the incident a clear penalty and expressed frustration at the decision. Arsenal had 15 shots and 2.1 expected goals but only three on target, recording consecutive goalless league draws.
