Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s own goal ensured another horrible Sunday night for Arsenal as Burnley stole a 1-0 win at the Emirates after Granit Xhaka’s red card for violent conduct.

After the match, Mikel Arteta faced both the BBC and Sky Sports cameras. Here’s a transcript of his answers from each…

BBC

His assessment of the match…

It’s another defeat which is extremely disappointing. I have the feeling that we gave the game away because we had complete control of the game, we were on top of the game, we should have scored one or two [goals] easily, they created nothing and obviously when you give the red card away, the game changes. At a set piece, which is one of their man strengths, we conceded a goal. The team kept trying, kept going but at the moment I don’t know what else we have to do to score a goal.

On Xhaka’s red card…

I haven’t seen the images but whether I have a complaint or not, the decision is made and I cannot do anything about it.

On Xhaka’s action being unacceptable…

Yes. In my opinion, it’s too much willingness to do well, to compete, to give everything you have. We took it to the wrong side. When you step over the line you know you’re going to get punished and we did. We cannot make those mistakes.

On where we are now…

In a worse position. When you have these types of performances you have to win matches, easy. It’s not science. When you play the way we play, when you dominate the game, you have to win. It’s as simple as that. And then you give the game away and it puts us in a really difficult position and on Wednesday [against Southampton] we are going to go and try again.

On being clear about what needs to change…

Yes.

On how he’ll rectify it…

I don’t know how to put the ball in the net, I cannot do that.

On Aubameyang scoring an own goal…

It’s an accident, these things can happen. The ball is going so quick, in a split second this can happen.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said:

On what he made of the game…

You saw the performance of the boys, how much they wanted it, the way they played, the chances we created, the dominance we had and again we gave the game away by giving a silly red card and we lost the game.

On the game-changing with the red card…

You saw what happened with the previous 60-70 minutes, we had control of the game and we should have won it earlier.

On Xhaka’s card being as unacceptable as Pepe’s at Leeds…

[Yes] Same word. And in these conditions, even worse. The conditions we are in – not winning football matches – you cannot do that. It’s related to how much will and commitment they want to put in the games that they overstep the line. It’s not an excuse. I want them to be brave to do what we’ve done today again but they’ve given the game to the opponent.

On Xhaka apologising…

I’m sure he will.

On whether Elneny should have been sent off…

I don’t know, I haven’t seen the image.

On where we go next…

We go on Wednesday against Southampton and we try to win the game again.

On what he needs to do…

We need to score a goal. We need to put the ball in the net. You saw the rest of the things in the team and how they work.

On the sending off coming at a time we were on top…

We were on top from the beginning to the moment of the sending off. Even after the sending off we had some really good moments, so I can’t fault that at all.

On how concerned he is…

Very, because we’re not winning football matches and I’m here to provide wins to the team.

On whether he’s scratching his head trying to find answers…

Every day. Every day we work on it. And I scratch my head like you said.
