Mikel Arteta expressed his frustrated with his Arsenal team after their 2-2 home draw with Fulham on Saturday. The Gunners manager felt his team should have scored “five, six, seven goals easily” at the Emirates Stadium, despite conceding after less than a minute.
Andreas Pereira had pounced on a loose back pass from Bakayo Saka and the midfielder saw goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale out of position, pulling the trigger from almost 30 metres to score and silence the home crowd.
Arsenal struggled to create quality chances in a second half played in the middle of a thunder storm that lit up the sky in North London, until substitute Fabio Vieira helped turn the game around.
The Portuguese midfielder first earned a penalty when he was brought down by Kenny Tete in the area, and Saka calmly converted from the spot.
