PSV had three goals disallowed on Thursday night. Two were a result of Arsenal holding an unusually high defensive line.
Former defender Martin Keown believed Arteta’s side were ‘sloppy’ in their defending. He told BT Sport: “Two goals that have been disallowed down to the defensive line of Arsenal. They are not afraid to play high and drop off when necessary, and that is what has kept Arsenal in the game in the first half.
“They are covering off the runs and the line is really good to catch both [Cody] Gakpo and [Xavier] Simons offside. That initial ball for Simons’ goal catches them off guard, it is a little bit sloppy in the lead up to the ball finding the back of the net, and I would like to see someone take better responsibility in that situation.”
