Arsenal boss Arteta disappointed seeing missiles thrown at De Bruyne

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was unhappy seeing Manchester City attacker Kevin de Bruyne pelted by missiles at the end of last night's defeat.

The two men clashed during the game.

Then with the game fizzling out, De Bruyne came off - and was pelted with objects from the crowd inside the ground.

And Arteta, when quizzed on the incident, admitted he was unhappy with the incident.

“Certainly not. I haven't seen it, but certainly not," he said at his press conference when asked if that's not something he wants to see.

Arteta also admitted he was unsure what contributed to Arsenal's defeat, saying the north London side were unable to recover following a mistake from Takehiro Tomiyasu.

“When mistakes happened that's part of the risk that we take," said the Spaniard.

“There is a reward when understanding what we have to do. We didn't understand well, especially in the second half when they changed their formation.

“As well though we came out a lot of times and created a problem for them. So there's always the balance."
