LONDON : Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was unhappy with his team's second-half performance against Nottingham Forest in their 2-1 victory on Saturday after the visitors fought back but he was relieved to begin the new Premier League campaign with a victory.
"But we didn't kill the game and 2-0 in the Premier League is a really dangerous result. We had a lack of concentration on the counter after the corner, they scored a goal and then it's game on and they throw a lot of bodies there. "You cannot give anything and today we gave them some hope and we gave them the goal. And when that happens against teams in the Premier League, you cannot do that," Arteta added.
"He is a clear example of what we're going to need this season, a player that was very disappointed because I didn't start him against Manchester City," Arteta said.
