Arsenal striker Nketiah: We failed to execute our gameplan at Everton

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah says they must not dwell on defeat at Everton.

The Gunners squandered some great opportunities before and after Everton's winner.

“It was a difficult game," said Nketiah. “They made it very tough. Personally, we weren't at the standard we needed to be at today and we've got to improve and make sure we bounce back in our next game.

“Credit to them, they put out a good gameplan and executed it well today. I felt like we just didn't execute ours to the best of our ability, we were a bit sloppy at times.

“These games happen, it's a long season and everything's not always going to go your way and we know that. “We want to win every game, especially for the travelling fans who came to support us. We wanted to give them all three points but unfortunately, we couldn't do that.

“I think their support all year has been excellent. It's not an easy place to come to and travel up here so we're grateful for them. Hopefully we can reward them with three points on Saturday.

“Not everything is going to go your way, especially when you're pushing and trying to achieve great things so the togetherness we've got here alongside the fans' support, we're going to bounce back. I know we're going to get a good result on the weekend."
