Although it is only a pre-season friendly match, the loss will be ranked with Arteta and the club's supporters.

Their last match was a 1-1 draw in the new boys of the Premier League Leeds on Saturday.

Arteta hopes that Arsenal can stack more misery on the yellow submarine and to iron some of the faults they have shown against the Spurs.

Gyokerers came out of the bench but had a short time to have an impact on the game when Arsenal showed again little point.

After the game, Arteta said: “I am very satisfied with what I have seen in most of the things we have done, but we have missed something that you know at certain times, this precision, this moment which unlocks the result and the moment to divert the result and win the match, but in terms of attitude, desire, the level of organization in the team, it was great and we must continue to raise all individual aspects.”

Even if the result of tonight [against Tottenham] Gives you a taste, I think it will be very positive too. To make the margins that winning or not winning must be controlled too and again, we leave.

“We have two big games at the Emirates to finalize the preparation and be ready for Old Trafford.”
