Lewis-Skelly was disappointed when Arsenal lost 1-2 to Bournemouth in round 35 of the Premier League. |
In the early morning of May 4, Arsenal took the lead but then Bournemouth scored 2 goals in a row to make a comeback right at Emirates.
“They were both easy goals,” Wright told The Guardian . “I don’t want to criticise the players too much because I understand they are struggling in the Champions League. But the team needs to perform better.”
“The first goal was a problem with Arsenal’s man-marking,” Wright continued. “Both Arsenal defenders were not looking at the Bournemouth player. It was strange to see that kind of elementary error, especially when you consider Arsenal are usually very careful in defence, but this season they have not been great at set-pieces.”
“To concede two goals like that at this stage of the season is disappointing. I know they are exhausted, physically and mentally, but they have to push for that last push. They have to finish the job,” complained the former England striker.
This is also the first time in history that the "Gunners" have lost to Bournemouth at Emirates Stadium.
This result puts coach Mikel Arteta's team at risk of being knocked out of the Champions League group if they continue to decline. They are only 3 points ahead of the third-placed team, Manchester City, in the context that the tournament will end after 3 more rounds.
