Silly Mistakes Led To Wasted Opportunity-Marcos Alonso


Marcos Alonso says lessons from yesterday’s defeat at Arsenal must be learned quickly with another big London derby on the horizon.
We under performed at the Emirates, eventually losing 2-0, although it was Alonso who came closest to scoring for us when he hit the post with a header on the stroke of half-time. The Spaniard also registered our only on-target effort of the evening, saved by Bernd Leno late on.
