Arteta slams Arsenal stars after Man Utd 3-2 defeat at Emirates
Mikel Arteta criticized his Arsenal players after they blew an early lead to lose 3-2 to Manchester United at the Emirates on Sunday evening. The Gunners started strong but surrendered control, with United's Bryan Mbeumo, Patrick Dorgu, and Matheus Cunha scoring despite Arsenal going ahead first. Arteta said, "Credit to Manchester United. We were not at our best. We started with total control, scored a goal, but after that, we gave the ball away so many times in dangerous areas." The defeat narrows Arsenal's lead at the top to just four points over second-placed Manchester City. Arsenal fans now face questions about title credentials after losing control and dominance against Michael Carrick's side. Will Arteta's men bounce back or is this the start of another collapse?
