Arsenal defender Saliba tells teammates: Everton wanted it more

Arsenal defender William Saliba concedes they allowed standards to slip in defeat at Everton.

Saliba has admitted that manager Mikel Arteta told the squad that there were missing "determination" during their loss to Everton.

He said: "He said that what was missing today was determination.

"On the pitch, Everton wanted it more than us, they were more hungry to win.

"We could have conceded even more. We are even happy to have conceded only one goal.

"We must take this match as an example, we know it's not over and there are still a lot of matches to play and we can already bounce back quickly at home next week."
