Arsenal press conference LIVE: Mikel Arteta on Man City, Kepa error, Eze injury and mental blow

Mikel Arteta faces the media after his side were beaten in the Carabao Cup final following a double from Nico O’Reilly.

The Gunners manager was without both Eberechi Eze and Jurrien Timber, who were deemed not fit enough to make the squad. Kai Havertz had the only real opening of the first half, forcing a save from James Trafford at close range.

City began the second half clearly the better side, but the mistake from Kepa Arrizabalaga is what allowed City to gain the advantage and proved the pivotal moment in the game. Arteta is sure to be asked about the decision not to start David Raya.
