Arsenal lost 3-0 at home, while Brighton, who have continued to shine this season, are complicating the ‘Gunners’ chances of securing the title.
Arteta was clear on who was responsible for the loss and blamed himself.
In his interview with Sky Sports, the Spaniard insisted on his sense of responsibility, as he said: “I hate to feel the frustration of the fans when they expect a real achievement. It’s the biggest regret how I feel today.”
He also explained how feelings can change quickly, adding: “A week ago I was standing here proud and today we have to apologize for the performance in the second half. It was not acceptable. .”
“Mathematically speaking, it’s still possible to get the title, but today it’s impossible to think about it. We have to absorb the result and the performance in the second half, understand the reason and have a different reaction.”
