Arsenal suffered back-to-back home Premier League defeats after Ollie Watkins helped Aston Villa to a 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium.

After the game, Mikel Arteta reveals who to blame for the defeat.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta speaking to Sky Sports: “First of all congratulations to Aston Villa for the way they played and the victory.

“After that, we performed below our standards and I have to say it’s the first time I’ve seen us play and we weren’t a team.

I take full responsibility. We didn’t start well enough, we got away with VAR for an offside situation but we lost all the races, the duels and we were sloppy on the ball.When we created chances we didn’t hit the target. It’s a really bad combination. We left spaces and on the counter we looked really vulnerable.

“I take full responsibility. I am responsible to make the team perform on the pitch and today we were not a team and it is my job. It is why I am standing here.

“It is a frustration. It takes a lot to build momentum, to build a way of being, living and performing and when something like that comes up it’s a hard one to take but in a hard moment you learn more than in a positive moment and I want to see how we react.”
