Here’s Nick Ames and his report from the Emirates. he says they were below par, just as Arteta and Odegaard said they were.
Thanks for sticking with me. It was long but it was loads of fun. G’night all!
Now a word from Mikel Arteta:
It’s a huge blow, obviously. There were moments were we gave every ball away. We had chances in the last 15 minutes and in extra time.
We didn’t win enough duels. We didn’t put them under pressure. Every time we got in a dangerous area we gave the ball away.
We have to look at ourselves and why we weren’t good enough to go through. We congratulate Sporting and have to be better against Palace.
