Mikel Arteta speaks ...
“Considering you concede two goals away from home and still escape with a draw you have to take some positives,” the Arsenal manager tells BT Sport. “We gave them too much hope by giving the ball away in our own half too many times. We had control for long periods but we lacked a bit of that final touch but we are missing four key attackers so we will take the draw.
“At 2-1 we lose the runner and they had a chance to make it 3-1 a lot of things to improve but we showed a lot of resiliency and we are still in the tie. Making six changes you lose a bit of the cohesion but we had to make the changes because some are unavailable and others had to play out of position but they did well.”
William Saliba speaks: “Today it wasn’t an easy game but we scored the first goal and then they brought it back to 1-1 and then made it 2-1,” the Arsenal goalscorer tells BT Sport. “As always we never give up and we scored the second goal. We have a game back home and we will give everything to win. We conceded two goals and the most important thing is that we didn’t lose and we have another game. It is okay, we wanted to win here but we didn’t lose and we have to focus on the next game and we are lucky to play at home. We will try to win again.”
