Arteta acknowledges reasons for conceding Nigerian forward Taiwo Awoniyi's goal

Posted : 13 August 2023
After Taiwo Awoniyi's goal in Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest, Mikel Arteta, the manager, discussed his team's performance, acknowledging their lack of clinical finishing. 

Arsenal secured an advantage through Eddie Nketiah's skillful strike and further extended their lead with Bukayo Saka's impressive curled shot. 

Arteta admitted that they should have sealed the game earlier instead of grappling in the final moments.

Awoniyi, who scored against Arsenal last season, entered as a substitute and tapped in after a strong run by Antony Elanga, offering hope for Forest. 

Despite chances for Nketiah and new signing Declan Rice, Arsenal's failure to convert left them vulnerable. 

Arteta admitted post-match that the team should have capitalized on their opportunities to secure the win comprehensively, recognizing the precarious nature of a 2-0 Premier League lead.

While Arteta acknowledged his team's deserving lead, he emphasized that a 2-0 scoreline in the Premier League can't guarantee comfort. 

Arsenal aims to continue their winning momentum after defeating Forest, bolstered by recent signings Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice, as they pursue another title challenge.
