Another quipped: “He wanted to know if he wants to add more busses to the goal post.”
The match ended in a goalless draw, with both sides taking a point.
In his post-match press conference, Mikel Arteta said: “We are improving, we are competing better and we are understanding how to compete in these games.
“There’s another step to make to win championships and that’s that you have to win. Today we were able to draw and we have to improve a lot still to win.
“The downside is that we had some situations to score. We didn’t make the most out of it. I think the next step is to have the composure with the ball.”
