Arsenal boss Arteta has expressed his disappointment with his side’s draw against Liverpool, although he was also proud of his team’s spirit.

Arteta insisted injury-hit Arsenal will fight back in the Premier League title race after admitting their lack of "courage" was the decisive factor in Sunday's pulsating 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

Arteta's side twice squandered the lead as a blockbuster showdown at the Emirates Stadium climaxed with Mohamed Salah's equaliser nine minutes from fulltime.

The Gunners led through Bukayo Saka's early opener and Virgil van Dijk's equaliser was followed by Mikel Merino's header on the stroke of halftime.

But Arsenal were hamstrung by second half injuries to Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber, weakening an already under-strength defence missing the suspended William Saliba and the injured Riccardo Calafiori.

Speaking after the match, the Gunners boss, said who claimed that his side was better than Liverpool, regretted that they failed to do enough in the second half to win the game.
