Mikel Arteta: "We're disappointed with the penalty"

“I’m disappointed because we wanted to win the game,” the Arsenal manager tells Sky Sports. “We started the game with good actions and a good goal. We knew it was going to be a challenging game.

“We gave too many balls away in the second half and we’re very disappointed with the penalty. I’ve never seen that in my life – and Saliba touches the ball. [It wasn’t one] for me, no.

“We’re playing every three days. I understand how much we want to [win], but in terms of the quality and the consistency and doing the simple things right against a competitive team, but we didn’t do enough today.”

Fabian Hurzeler: "I feel like I have to repeat myself"

“I think it should be more and again and in the end I’m standing here after the games and I feel like I have to repeat myself all the time,” says the Brighton manager in a chat with Sky Sports.

“Of course it’s a disappointing feeling. I think we weren’t that intense for the first 20 minutes but after their goal I thought it was much better. The big word for us is being more consistent, playing the way we want to play for 90 minutes and then hopefully we get the result we expect.”
