Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta told his players not to be down after their defeat at Aston Villa.
An early goal from John McGinn was enough for Villa to win 1-0.
Arteta said: I'm really proud of the way the team played in this stadium against this team. We deserved to win the game but you have to be better in the boxes and things have to go your way as well.
That was one of the things [failure to put the ball in the net]. Especially in the second half we lost a bit of control, we gave the ball away, we went in to attack the ball too fast because you are tempted to put the ball in behind with the way they defend with the line but we could have done a bit better.
They are there and with the home record they have they fully deserve to be where they are because when you win as many games at home they deserve the credit.
On whether the players will need a lift, Arteta added: I just told them 'pull your head up because the way you played' I see many, many teams come here and I haven't seen many do what we have done to them today but the result is not there but certainly the way we played it was there."
