The Arsenal Manager commented after the Villa game “Those (top-four) teams don't make those mistakes. Those (top-four) teams cannot play four or five times in the first 22 games of the season with 10 men. It doesn't happen. There's not a team in the world that can sustain that. If you concede a goal early or make an error, the team has to react," said Arteta.
It would be helpful if he would explain how he intends to eliminate this imperfection.

Last night's UEFA Europa League game v Benfica 2nd leg resulted in a 3-2 win and Arsenal go through 4-3 on aggregate.
The villain of the piece was their own Dani Ceballos whose input resulted in two needless goals for the opposition.
For the result to be termed "lucky" would be an injustice as they were far the better team, but it had a feeling of déjà vu about it with Steve McQueen+James Garner in the leading role.
