- Arteta: ‘This was a really painful moment’
- Manager defends Alex Rúnarsson after keeper’s blunder
Mikel Arteta said Arsenal were in “big trouble” and feeling further pain after a 4-1 home defeat to Manchester City dumped them out of the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
The Arsenal manager picked a second-string team and watched his goalkeeper, Alex Rúnarsson, endure a torrid evening. The low point came when the Icelander fumbled a Riyad Mahrez free-kick into the net to give City a 2-1 lead. Rúnarsson had also been partly to blame for Gabriel Jesus’s opening goal.
