Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay felt the 3-0 scoreline against Arsenal didn't do his team justice.
Cardiff slipped to 17th in the table thanks to the defeat. The hosts were much improved after the break, with Wojciech Szczesny producing a great save to deny Fraizer Campbell an equaliser with the score at 1-0.
Mackay felt the final score was harsh on his team.
"The score is not a fair reflection of the game, but I am not going to apologise for having a go," he said.
"That's what we did, and we certainly gave them some problems in the second half. The calmness on the ball in the second half makes me very proud of the players.
"We were playing against a team who have had a manager in situ for 17 years. Over that time he has had a lot of money to build a recruitment process to bring in top players like we have seen here.
"We were playing against the best and were certainly not out of our league."
