Arsenal boss Arteta apologises to support after Brentford collapse

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta apologised to the fans after their dismal 2-0 defeat at Brentford for their Premier League opener.

The Gunners were outplayed by the promoted Bees on Friday night.

Arteta said: “First of all, I want to thank them because the support that they’ve given to the team, all the travelling fans that were here, and after that apologise for the result. We know that we have to improve. We have two big games coming up and we need a different performance to get a different result.

“My focus is on the players that we have – to make them play as well as possible and get the best out of the team, finding the way to win football matches, and certainly the next one.

“We are very clear of what we wanted to do, what our strengths are and where we can improve. I don’t think today’s performance shows anything different to what we’ve already seen.”

On their poor performance in attack, Arteta added: “I don’t think that tonight’s game is one to analyse [overly] given the circumstances we had on the day.”
