Arsenal lost 3-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion away, and Arteta spoke to Viaplay after the match.

On the match

They deserved to win this game. I think they were the better side, especially in the opening stages of the first half. Our intensity was not at the level required to win. We didn't win enough duels and second balls. At the same time, we made too many mistakes in certain aspects of the game and with our technical execution, and these mistakes occurred in areas where they shouldn't have. Facing a team that likes to man-mark and wants to create attacking opportunities this way, such mistakes make it easier for them to play.

Furthermore, when you miss chances, it becomes very difficult to win the game.

Can you explain why the game turned out this way? Why were Brighton & Hove Albion the better side and dominant in duels?

I have already explained it.

Now that you've suffered such a defeat with the international break coming up, what impact will this have on you and the team?

Obviously, this is not a good time. But at the same time, I also have to put things into perspective. Since we came back from the World Cup, over the first six or seven weeks, I think the team performed very well.

But today's game definitely feels very bad, because in football there are many fundamental things you must do well first to give yourself a chance to win the game, and today we didn't do that.

So it's very important to bounce back quickly after the international break.

Yes, of course. We will learn from this and start fresh.
