Speaking after the 2-1 defeat, Arteta said: “I imagine he makes the decision in a split of a second, and naturally he tries to stop the ball. There’s nothing he can do.”

“It’s hard enough to win football games in the league. Those big decisions are like that but it’s nothing we can change at the moment.”
