London: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger lashed out at his players after they lost 1-2 to West Bromwich Albion and missed the chance to take the top spot in the English Premier League (EPL) standings. West Bromwich scored through James Morrison’s volley and a Mikel Arteta own goal on Saturday after Olivier Giroud gave Arsenal the lead. Arsenal are now fourth in the EPL points table behind Leicester City, Manchester United and Manchester City.
“It was a very bad afternoon for us. We had 70 per cent possession, we scored an own goal, we missed a penalty, we gave away a goal from a set-piece, that is perfect to make the afternoon a nightmare,” Wenger said after the match. “We missed open-goal chances. I believe West Brom did fight with 100 per cent commitment as well and you have to give them credit for that,” he added.
