Bruno Fernandes's reaction
[Was the performance a step forward?] It’s the first game of the season so we can’t speak about a step forward. We did a lot of good things but obviously it wasn’t enough. We created too many chances without scoring; that’s the main negative today.
[On Arsenal’s goal] Corners are part of the game. We know they are very good at set-pieces. I haven’t seen the goal again but when you touch the goalkeeper when he wants to jump it makes it very difficult for him and unfortunately Altay couldn’t get the ball out of the goal.
I was at the first post and I haven’t seen a replay so I can’t talk about [whether it was a foul]. But Altay said there was a touch as he went to punch the ball. We know in the Premier League they don’t give much in this type of situation.
[On Cunha and Mbeumo] They created a lot and they were in the right positions. They were dangerous and it was a good first impression for them. But I’m sure they will do much better.
