'Wow, did they get beat 8-0?'
Dixon names Arsenal star who went ‘over the top’ after their draw at SouthamptonLee Dixon thinks Arsenal defender Ben White went “over the top” in his downbeat assessment of their performance against Southampton on Sunday.
When asked why Arsenal had been so poor in the second half, White replied: “Sloppy in possession, didn’t win duels, the opposite to the first half and that’s why the game went the way it did.On his assist for Xhaka’s goal, White added: “Obviously to be a part of it is amazing but it’s about the team and unfortunately we didn’t get the win today.”
Dixon added: “I think it [Arsenal’s poor finishing] would’ve been Mikel’s concern at half time because you always remember the game that’s just gone, they had a midweek game but the last Premier League game he’ll remember how in control they were against Leeds and then how it went away from them in the second half.
“This is football and I think we were really, really good in the first half and controlled totally the game and created big chances that we didn’t put away.
