Arsenal went down early after Erling Haaland scored his 10th Premier League goal of the season. However, goals from Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori gave Arteta's side the lead in the game. However, after Trossard's sending-off, Arteta shifted his side into a very defensive setup with the Gunners wasting as much time as possible.
Getty Images SportWHAT STONES SAID
Speaking to the media about Arsenal's tactics, Stones said: "It was a difficult afternoon for both teams, how they stop the play, how they use the side of football that not many teams do.
"You can call it clever or dirty, whichever way you want to put it, but they break up the game which upsets the rhythm. They use it to their advantage and we dealt with it very well.
"They slow the game down, they get the keeper on the floor so they can get some information onto the pitch. We had to control our emotions during those tough times and I felt like we did. There were a lot of tough tackles, some silly decisions, but we did well.
"I wouldn't say they have mastered it, but they have done it for a few years now, so we knew to expect that."
