“We have to show another level of commitment and desire. With 10 men, you can’t concede a goal,” lamented coach Gunner Mikel Arteta, referring to his numerical superiority after Nigerian Calvin Bassey was sent off for a double yellow.
With this result, the host accumulates 7 points throughout the tournament and ranks first with Tottenham. For its part, the visit adds 4 units and is located in tenth place.
