‘Not up to our usual standards’: Bukayo Saka sees room for improvement from Arsenal

Bukayo Saka acknowledged that Arsenal's performance in their 1-0 victory over Manchester United was not up to their usual standards. Despite the win, Saka said the team's decision-making and overall play were not great, and they will be punished if they repeat such "sloppiness and bad decisions." Goalkeeper David Raya echoed Saka's concerns, noting that the team's performance was not at their usual level. Arsenal managed only nine shots compared to United's 22, and the home team dominated possession with a 61.9% share. The visitors' only goal came from a Riccardo Calafiori header after the United goalkeeper palmed the ball onto his head from a Declan Rice corner. The article suggests that Arsenal has room for improvement, despite securing the three points.
