Arsenal young winger Alex Iwobi felt that the team took their “foot off the gas” in their 2-1 defeat to Manchester City which make them trail the league leaders Chelsea by nine points.
“I guess you could say we took our foot off the gas,” Iwobi told Arsenal’s official website. “Man City took advantage very well in the second half. We were up against a tough side today, we were just unfortunate to not keep the win.”
However, Arsenal are set to face West Brom on boxing day followed by a number of games against lower half teams in January which might see them back in contention for the title.
“We’re going to keep on going, fight until the end and see where we go. We’ll just have to continue how we were playing at the start of the season,” Iwobi said. “We just have to get that back and kick on now and prepare well for the next game.”
