Edward said afterwards: "Parts of it were exceptional. After we went 1-0 down we saw a bit more of us, we were a bit braver and committed to be the team we wanted to be.
"I saw so many good things out there today. I thought the second half was an excellent performance by us.
"To stay in the game and still be in the game late on was really pleasing. We were aggressive but when we got into the final third we were lacking that final pass.
"I am really proud of the lads. It is hard to be at our best but we have come to Arsenal and lost 2-0 - that happens to many teams. There is no shame in that, I thought there were loads of good things.
"Tonight was never going to define our season. Saturday, Bournemouth in the last 20 games are around fifth in the table so it won't be easy, but our focus goes onto Saturday."
