Arsenal can’t blame technology for West Ham loss\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Mikel Arteta lamented the lack of technology as Arsenal were embroiled in another VAR controversy during Thursday's 2-0 home defeat to West Ham United, but said his side had plenty of chances to score goals and to win.<\/p>\n

Tom\u00e1s Soucek opened the scoring in the 13th minute, but the goal survived a lengthy review as replays suggested the ball may have gone out as Jarrod Bowen took it off the line to create the chance.<\/p>\n

With the goal given by on-field referee Michael Oliver, the available camera<\/a> angles did not have enough evidence to conclusively determine whether he had left the field, replicating a similar incident that saw the strike from Anthony Gordon during the Gunners' 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United. in September, amid Arsenal protests.<\/p>\n

Arteta successfully fought off a Football<\/a> Association charge following comments he made following Gordon's goal and the Gunners boss adopted a more conciliatory tone after his side missed a chance to take the lead. lead the Premier League as Konstantinos Mavropanos sealed West Ham's victory with a 55th-minute header.<\/p>\n

“I have not seen it, [but] they say it's inconclusive,” Arteta said. “It's a shame that with the technology we have, it's not so clear that we can say whether it's out or in. It's done. Let's go. There's nothing we can do about it now.<\/p>\n\n

If the technology we have right now is not good enough to give us that answer, what we have to do is win<\/a> the game without it. With the number of situations we generated in the game, it should have been more than enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenal made 30 shots and finished with an expected goals figure of 2.68 after registering 77 touches in the West Ham box \u2013 a record for a team failing to score in a Premier League match since Opta records began in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how it is,\u201d Arteta added. “We have to try to generate. If we don't score with 30 shots, then we have to make 50 or 60 to try to score. That's the only thing. I can't imagine a game where we have more touches in the match. box, more domination and fewer situations for the opponent against a very good West Ham team. But today, it was not enough to win the match.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, West Ham boss David Moyes celebrated his first league win at Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Manchester United in 73 attempts by hinting he could soon discuss a new contract.<\/p>\n

Moyes, whose current contract expires at the end of the season, said: “We're getting ready to talk. I don't think any of us are going to get there too quickly. I don't see any problem with it. “<\/p>\n<\/photo1><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
