Arsenal goalkeeper Leno finds positives losing unbeaten record

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno says losing their unbeaten run has already been forgotten.

Arsenal were beaten by Southampton at the weekend to end a 22-match unbeaten streak in all competitions.

Unai Emery's men now host north London rivals Tottenham in the Carabao Cup tomorrow (7.45pm) as they look to get back on the winning trail.

“It was not easy defensively because this line of defence didn't play together before," Leno said.

“We have a big squad so we have many players who can play in defence or at centre back, so hopefully it won't be a problem.

“I hope there will be no more injuries.

“After 22 games you can lose a game, so it is disappointing but now nobody talks anymore about the unbeaten run and we can look forward.

“We have Spurs on Wednesday - another big game - and maybe now we can start another unbeaten run."
