Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has admitted his team was “far from efficient” as they lost 2-1 to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.
Arteta also claimed his players “did strange things” against the Cherries.
Kroupi Junior gave the visitors the lead, before Viktor Gyokeres smashed in the equalizer from the penalty spot.
Alex Scott scored a late winner for Bournemouth despite Arsenal dominating the second half.
“Disappointing. It’s a big punch in the face and it’s about how we react now,” Arteta said.
“They are a team who haven’t lost for 11 games for a reason, they did a lot right.
“We were far from efficent. The first chance they had to attack the box, it’s a deflection, a bad defending action and it’s a goal. That’s something we have to recover from.
“The second half you expect a different game. We did a lot of strange things today.
“We have been very consistent. This can happen, this is football.”
