'We should have won it!' - Arsenal coach Jonas Eidevall demands more efficiency after disappointing 1-0 loss to Tottenham in north London derby

The Swedish coach insisted his side "should have won" following their 1-0 defeat to Spurs, with Martha Thomas' goal being the only differential between the two sides in the Women's Super League clash on Saturday afternoon.

Speaking after the defeat to their north London rivals, the Arsenal boss claimed his side should've secured all three points, saying: "We should have won it. The most important aspect is what you create offensively compared to what we allow the opposition to create. Those things are strong in this game. The most likely outcome in a game like this is that Arsenal win because of the way we play and that’s the fact.

"Most of the time we are going to win this match and we need to keep doing the things that leads to that.So it’s an odd feeling sitting here with that because of course we are very disappointed with that, disappointed with our efficiency but from a performance point of view, we played well enough to win the match and we should have won it."

The win marked a first victory over Arsenal for Spurs in the Women's Super League, as they ended a five game winless streak and also kept their first north London derby clean sheet.

Spurs boss Robert Vilahamn said after the game: "I'm very happy for the team and the club because they deserve to compete at this level… they defended so well and that goal we scored was also brilliant."

The Gunners will now face a short break before they get chance to bounce back in their next WSL fixture, with their next game arriving just over a month away against Everton on December 20.
