foot as they were beaten 2-1 by Arsenal in Saturday's
Premier League encounter.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez felt his side shot themselves
in the foot as they went down 2-1 to Arsenal in the Premier
League on Saturday.
Goals from Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny put Everton two
goals down after 38 minutes, before Ross Barkley pulled one
back in the 44th minute.
The away side failed to level the scoring, though, and Martinez
was unable to hide his disappointment.
"We shot ourselves in the foot in terms of giving away such an
easy two-goal lead," Martinez said.
"We put ourselves in a really difficult position but I enjoyed the
reaction and the desire to get back in the game.
"From that point on we had two very important moments in the
second half. Petr Cech made a very important save from Gerard
Deulofeu and there was a great header from Romelu Lukaku
that hit the crossbar when it looked like it was going in.
"I did feel at times that we found it easy to get in good positions
on the pitch and maybe having a little more know-how in front
of goal, we could have used those positions a little better.
"All in all, to look like you can rescue something from the game
after giving away a two-goal lead, it showed what we have in
the squad but, from the other side, there is disappointment for
giving away such soft goals."
