And then of course you wish to have Arsenal after a Champions League game or something, not their first home game of the season and on the back of a big win away at Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of their new signings were paraded before the game, the stadium was buzzing and they are on it. The first 10-15 minutes we had to suffer and then I think we came back into the game. Struijk\u2019s header was the best chance of the game, but it was a very good save from their keeper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was annoying to concede out of a set piece. We underestimated their counter-press a little bit and they scored from a difficult angle for 2-0. Second half five shots on target, five goals. It is difficult when they are so effective. Long story short they were the better side and deserved to win this game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
