Mikel Arteta spoke to the press after his Arsenal side failed to hold onto a lead at Sunderland. A late Brian Brobbey goal stole the point for the Black Cats and opened the door in the title race wider than Arsenal would have liked, with such a big game between Liverpool and Manchester City to come.

He was asked about the flow of the game and how it was that his side’s winning run and clean sheet record finally came to an end. The Spaniard highlighted what he was not pleased with but also his delight at the response from his players after going a goal down.

Here is every word Mikel Arteta said during the post-match press conference:

Your team put themselves in such a good position, so how disappointed are you with the goal at the end?

Obviously, the last feeling is disappointment and frustration because we wanted the three points, and we have to navigate through a really tough game. We knew that, it was very disruptive....
