Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has praised his side despite being unable to claim victory against ten-man Fulham on Saturday.
The Reds came from behind to make it 2-1 before Calvin Bassey was sent off for Fulham.
However, Joao Palhinha netted a late equaliser to see the points shared at the Emirates.
Speaking to BBC Match of the Day after the match, Arteta praised his side for their reaction to giving away a soft goal when Bukayo Saka gave the ball to Fulham.
He said: ''Right from the beginning, we gave an incredible goal away. You make life really difficult for yourself. But the team reacted really well.
'We dominated the game and created countless chances and should have scored five, six, seven goals easily.'
The Spaniard continued to discuss his side's performance and thelate goal that they gave away.
'And when you have done the most difficult thing which is to get back ahead against a team that is well organised, you have to defend your box from one corner,' he cotinued. 'It is the only chance they have and you get punished.
'Yet still you get another two chances and don't score - that is the story of the game. The amount of things we did to merit to win the game comfortably, we end up with one point.'
The Arsenal boss continued by discussing the opening goal which saw Fulham go ahead after just one minute, as Saka gifted the ball to the visitors in on goal.
This meant that Arsenal became the first side in Premier League history to concede three goals in the first minute in a calendar year.
Discussing the strike, he said: 'We have this situation a thousand times in football [for the first goal]. We gave the ball away in a really dangerous area and it was a really cool finish.'
Finalising his analysis of the game, Arteta heaped praise on three Arsenal stars for their performances.
'All three substitutes changed the game,' he began. 'Fabio [Vieira] was involved in everything we created and I am really happy with that.
'To see players with the ability to make and take chances with quality. The same with Eddie [Nketiah]. It is my fault that Fabio has not played more and today he gave me reasons to play him more.
'We have to show another level of commitment and desire and 'over my dead body'. With 10 men, you cannot concede a goal.'

The best tactician in the EPL, I repeat, the best tactician in the EPL. Before you make case for anyone here, just ensure ref and VAR didn't help that person last season....... Especially those egg heads. Arteta>>>>Guardiola.......... Arteta>>>≥>>>>>>≥≥>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ten Hag

very useless and meaningless babe coach.we want the squad for last season,welcome Rice in and play Party,White and Gab back to their positions and welcome zinzenko back to his left back and that is all.How foolish is Arteta jst changing players like this.?This is not the time to build the team anymore. the team was ardy built we jst wanted few players to fix abit more not to change the Squad to new positions. I knw you did this because you want your useless Kai to play while he is extremely weak.

Arteta is smoking maybe this, he just need to change the goalkeeper, stop playing partey at the back and bench havert. If partey plays at the back it will be difficult for the front 3 to get the ball on time. I can see that arteta want to sell partey but his proving him wrong, his playing better than those in the midfield. Instead of taking out havert who was useless he take out partey was playing well. If partey continue to play at the back arsenal will struggle to score goals.

complacency and contentment go against the spirit of competition. After leading, they all fell back to defence. continue playing like this, Arsenal will be empty handed this year again.

These are not the ramblings of true Arsenal supporters. if anything, most critics here are just anti- Arsenal. They are either bots or supporters of other teams jealous of the Gunners. Move on losers.

Mikel Arsenal need a high quality striker that do more than 20 goals a season. Most of Arsenal fans are not comfortable at all with this result.

that's nonsense!!, Partey must play as defensive midfielder not a full back in the name of accommodating Havertz in the squad,that guy should be sell immediately Even though he's a visitor or yet you will be sack😏 Mark my words
Who will buy him? How much? When a player flops at Chelsea, clubs can still buy them, believing that Chelsea flops players. Now, he couldn't fit into a simple Arsenal. Well, Brighton might manage him.

By tomorrow Arsenal fans will be tearing into Arteta. English supporters are the worst in the world always shouting their mouths off. If the team won then they would win the league and all the cups. My advice to them is they need to shut the fxck up. Win some lose some that does with all sport.

Arteta should STOP acting like World class manager cause he hasnt won anything yet
absolutely, he's talking with a lot of pride as if he has won 5 champions league and a dozen league titles, even the Master pep gurdiola never talks with such arrogance yet he's the most decorated manager in the plemier league, Arteta should go slow and first win a league title before he talks as if he has managed for 20 years
