ARTETA URGES ARSENAL RESPONSE AFTER SHOCK FA CUP EXIT.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has urged his players to “show what we are made of”
after their 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Southampton.
The Premier League leaders fell behind to Ross Stewart before Viktor Gyokeres
equalised, but Shea Charles struck late to seal a famous win for the second-tier side.
Arteta admitted his side fell short, pointing to defensive lapses, saying they “didn’t
manage the long balls well enough,” and that such errors made it “very difficult” to
progress.
The defeat ends Arsenal’s FA Cup hopes and follows their League Cup final loss,
leaving their season hinging on the Premier League and Champions League.
Despite the setback, Arteta called for a strong reaction, insisting the team must
“adapt to difficult situations” and respond quickly ahead of their European clash with
Sporting CP.
