Everton veteran Young: We deserved at least a point against Arsenal

Everton veteran Ashley Young insists they deserved something from defeat at home to Arsenal on Sunday.

The Gunners won 1-0 thanks to a strike from Leandro Trossard.

Young later said: "At times we were resilient, we had to defend as a team. Especially in the first-half, we nullified them. We've been done by a set-piece, which is disappointing. Not to come away with at least a point is obviously disappointing.

"I don't think we did (feel threatened defensively). There were a couple of times they got in behind but we nullified them to only a few chances. We knew they would have a lot of the ball but when we got it back we gave it away too cheaply. At times it was tough but we stayed in the game and to concede in that way was disappointing.

"We said at half-time we have to keep the ball and put one or two passes together.

"We're a few games in, we're disappointed not to get three points in any of the games, especially when we've created chances. I have every faith in the manager, players and the dressing round to turn things around."
