Saliba calls for Arsenal unity after 'really disapponting' FA Cup defeat

Arsenal defender William Saliba has urged his teammates to stick together this coming week.

The Gunners have suffered a huge blow to their season this weekend, losing to Liverpool in the FA Cup.

After being bundled out in the third round at home due to a 2-0 loss to the Reds, Saliba was adamant they can get it right.

Post-game, he said: "I'm really disappointed because we started the game so well.

"We had too many chances to score, but we didn't. Even in the second half, we were good, unfortunately we conceded one free-kick 10 minutes before the [end of the] game. We have to kill the game off before, because when we have so many chances like this, we have to score.

"We have to defend free-kicks better, we cannot concede them like this, so we can be really disappointed today. We have to stick together.

"We know we're not in our best moment, but we won't give up and we'll come back even stronger. We will work a lot during this break, we will breathe a little bit. We will stick together and come back stronger, and better."
