Arsenal must learn from Liverpool defeat, says Arteta
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his side
need to channel their energy into learning from their mistakes after Saturday's
4-0 Premier League defeat at Liverpool, ahead of a busy schedule which will see
them in action nine times in all competitions until the end of the year.

Juergen Klopp and Arteta fired up the home fans and players at Anfield before a
four-goal salvo sent Arsenal packing.
The result ended an eight-game unbeaten run
for the north London side, who have not won a league game at Anfield since 2012
when Arteta was still playing for them.
"It is one of the toughest places to
play football in Europe and in the moment something goes a little bit wrong or
the timing is not right, you get punished and they deserved to win the
game," Arteta said.
"I don't like learning like that, but
there's a lot of learning that we can take from the game for sure. One of the
biggest learnings after a disappointing result is focus tomorrow on the next
one.
"We'll look at what we should have
done better and why we got punished the way we did and after that put our
energy and focus on the next game."
Arsenal, fifth in the league standings on
20 points from 12 games, will host Newcastle United on Saturday.
