Reacting to the draw against Forest to the BBC, Mikel Arteta said his team could have done better to win the contest by stating,
“We created four big, big, big chances and a clear penalty, but we weren’t able to win the game. We could’ve been better.”
“We have to improve and be better, especially when we create four big chances, you have to put them away… But that’s the margins and we didn’t find a way to win it.”
