Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa has admitted his side fell short in their fifth-round Premier League clash against Brighton, where they were soundly beaten 3-0 at home.
The player highlighted that the team failed to maintain the high standards they had set for themselves. He stressed the importance of critically analysing their mistakes during the upcoming international break.
According to Konsa, Arsenal could have prevented the first two goals conceded if they had denied Brighton's players the freedom to shoot from outside the box.
We didn't perform well enough. We’ve set high standards for ourselves, and it’s vital not to lower those, as we did today.
It’s unusual for us to concede three goals. I take pride in keeping clean sheets, but that wasn’t the case today. It's time to step away, analyse this, and come back stronger.
