Thursday, February 27, 2025 - Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has admitted his team lacked the “spark” to unlock Nottingham Forest.
The Gunners played out a 0-0 draw at City Ground on Wednesday night – a
result that further dents their Premier League title ambitions.
Speaking after the game, Arteta claimed it was a much better performance
from their 1-0 home defeat to West Ham last weekend.
He said: “We dominated the game. We tried in many different ways.
“We insisted but lacked that spark, that final pass to unlock a well
organised team. We have to generate more shots on target.
“Very different standard [to the West Ham defeat]. We defended with
energy, purpose, fight, willingness to make things happen.
“It wasn’t because we lacked that. We tried until the end but weren’t
able to do it.”
