Arsenal boss Arteta makes complaint over players after Leicester win
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insisted his team should have created and scored more against Leicester. The Gunners beat the Foxes 1-0 at the King Power Stadium on Saturday to extend their lead at the top of the table.
Gabriel Martinelli scored the only goal of the game immediately after half-time. He was restored to the starting XI after being dropped for the trip to Aston Villa last week.
He came off the bench to score at Villa Park and backed that up with another goal at Leicester. Neat work from Leandro Trossard set up Martinelli, who opened up his body and rolled the ball across Danny Ward.
Arsenal dominated possession for large parts of the game. But they were unable to make that count in the final third.
Leicester barely troubled Aaron Ramsdale in the Arsenal goal. The visitors were resolute in defence but Arteta wishes it was more comfortable for his team.
Arteta said: “I think for the amount of time we dominated the ball, possession and territory, and the amount of situations we created in the final third, we should have created much more and scored more goals. If you don’t, then you have to be exceptional in your defensive work.
“I think we conceded one shot off target only. So I think defensively the team was outstanding as well.
“So, great because it’s a really difficult place to come here and win and we’ve done it and it’s a huge win.”
