'You don't get away with defending like that'

Arsene Wenger was left to rue a costly defensive mistake against Stoke City, which resulted in the only goal of the game.

We enjoyed nearly 80 per cent possession at Bet365 Stadium on Saturday, but were undone by Jese's strike shortly after the restart.

Speaking after the game, the manager was critical of the team's defensive lapse, bemoaned our lack of sharpness in front of goal, and gave his thoughts on Hector Bellerin playing at left wing back.

on missing an end product…
We are very frustrated because we lost a game that we should have won and that's terrible to swallow.
