Mikel Arteta hailed the successful Champions League match against the Pitmen.
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta commented on the victory over Shakhtar in the third round of the Champions League.
The previous day, the Gunners beat their opponents with a score of 1:0 thanks to an own goal and missed penalty.
“Very happy with the result. It’s always difficult in the Champions League. We should have been more in the first half, and in the second half I saw a bit of fatigue. It was difficult to play 60 minutes with ten men a few days ago. We left the game which was quite open, but we fought for the three points.
I don’t know if the missed penalty was due to fatigue. We have to give credit to Shakhtar, they are brave. When you give them time on the ball and you lose it, you have to suffer.
I don’t know why Havertz didn’t take the penalty. He’s one of those who take penalties, but Trossard took them,” Arteta was quoted by the BBC as saying, citing TNT Sports.
