Arteta reacts to Jorginho’s mistake vs Tottenham

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reacted to substitute, Jorginho’s misses that ultimately cost the team in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Recall that Jorginho came on the match as a replacement for Declan Rice at the start of the second half with the score at 1-1.

However, after Bukayo Saka’s penalty put the Gunners up, the former Chelsea midfielder was robbed by James Maddison, who teed up Heung-Min Son to make it 2-2.

Arteta, when asked about Jorginho after the game, said: “I love him and we all love him. Errors are a part of football.

“They are allowed to make errors because they play. He is someone who helps the team. We all love him and are with him.”

Arteta in his statement also revealed that Tottenham Hotspurs’ equaliser affected them emotionally in their attempts to find a third goal.
