Mikel Arteta insists he DOESN'T MIND if his Arsenal players make mistakes as long as they show bravery after Granit Xhaka's comedy error gifts Burnley at point as Gunners dropped more points

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insisted he does not mind errors like those from Granit Xhaka which gifted Burnley a point, if his players are being brave and playing the way he wants.

The equaliser was a comedy goal, with 6ft 3in Chris Wood standing beside Xhaka as he tried to lift the ball out of the area and instead sent it into the net off the striker. But Arteta was unmoved.

‘It is what it is,’ he said. ‘It’s the way we play. It’s the way I want to play and we just have to know the risk and the rules we have in certain areas and the type of balls that we have to play.
