Potter: We should have taken something off Gunners

Graham Potter believes his side deserved some reward after they suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal.

Alexandre Lacazette scored the only goal of the game 21 seconds after coming on as a substitute midway through the second half, on a frustrating night at the Amex for Albion.

“We are suffering a bit at the moment. It was a fairly even game – we did well in the first half and had some good opportunities ourselves. They didn't have too many but they started better in the second half, probably as a response to us playing well in the first half.

“They had a couple of chances on the break, especially when we were attacking their box and they have got that quality that can turn defence into attack very quickly. In the end it's pretty much an even game and we're disappointed not to come away with anything.

“It's something we want to change quickly. I believe we can change it on Saturday against Wolves.”

It brought an end to a year in which Albion have only secured one Premier League win at the Amex.

“We have to play better, we have to do everything better. The spirit of the players was good, the effort was good tonight. I can't fault anything, we were undone by a bit of quality by them.

“We were against a side who have a lot of attacking talent, regardless of the narrative around their league position, they have still got some high-quality Premier League players. So we have to accept that and try and improve ourselves.”
