In the 10th round of the Premier League, Isak scored the only goal of the match, and Arsenal ultimately lost 0-1 away to Newcastle. After the game, Arsenal center-back Saliba spoke to the media.
Saliba: “We are all a bit sad because we wanted to win today. It’s unfortunate that we didn’t achieve it and didn’t play the game we wanted. I think we deserved to lose today. I don’t think we played the way we wanted to, and they also performed very well. No problem, we will focus on next week; the season is long.”
“Newcastle’s goal? I think it was a good goal, a very good cross and a brilliant shot, but we could have done better. They scored early in the game, and we failed to equalize. We need to stick together. Last season, we went through similar periods, and we need to stay united and confident to get out of this situation.”
Regarding his own performance, Saliba added: “I need to perform better than in the last game. I didn’t play well, and once I regain my form, we will be better, but I must work hard to get back to my best.”
