Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez: Silly mistakes; fans deserve better

Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez says the fans deserve better after defeat at Tottenham.

Martinez, was one of Arsenal's better performers, making fine stops to deny the likes of Harry Kane.

But the Argentine keeper admitted the players were at fault for the demoralising defeat.

“We didn't start like the manager wanted, we were giving the ball away for no reason," he said.

“As time was going on we started playing well, we controlled the midfield and we outplayed them.

"I feel sorry for the supporters because we know what it means for them.

“I am not proud at all, I hate losing I hate it to be honest. I know what it means to supporters, we made two silly mistakes with the goals and we have gave them two chances. It is what it is.

“We completely outplayed them in the second-half, when we play that well we need to score goals.

“I thought we created chances but not enough to score. Auba had a great chance and then Hugo [Lloris] made a great save. We have to put them in."
