Mikel Arteta admits his Arsenal side have an issue with red cards but believes the remedy lies in not discussing the problem within the squad.
Arsenal are licking their wounds following a surprise 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday in a performance that unravelled after William Saliba’s hotly contested red card. It was their third dismissal of the season and the 18th since Arteta took charge in December 2019, a tally five clear of the nearest Premier League club in that period. They will not be appealing against the Saliba decision, meaning the centre-back will be suspended for the visit of Liverpool on Sunday, and Arteta accepted the situation must, somehow or other, improve.
