Mikel Arteta, manager of Arsenal, stated that his club did not receive a fair punishment after Thursday night’s 2-0 loss to West Ham.
To go ahead of Liverpool in the standings, the Gunners needed three points.
However, the away team pulled off a surprising victory thanks to goals from Thomas Soucek and Mavropanos.
“We want to be at the top and today we are very, very disappointed,” Arteta told MOTD.
We were completely dominant throughout the game. Right now, we’re doing really well.
What a letdown tonight. In preparation for our important match against Fulham, we must gather ourselves.
Despite Liverpool’s two-point lead, Arsenal is still in second place with 40 points.
