Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 as David Moyes labels late defeat cruel
David Moyes has described Everton’s 2-0 Premier League defeat by Arsenal as “absolutely cruel” after his much-improved side conceded late goals at the Emirates Stadium.
The Toffees boss believes the performance highlighted the significant progress his squad has made during the current campaign.
Despite frustrating their hosts for the majority of the contest, the visitors were ultimately undone in the closing stages in north London.
“It was absolutely cruel on the players.”
The Scottish tactician stated while addressing the media following the final whistle.
Late heartbreak in the capital
The resilient away side had looked poised to secure a hard-fought point against a technically gifted opposition.
However, the late double from the Gunners ensured the three points remained firmly in the capital.
The frustrating result leaves the Merseyside outfit reflecting on what might have been after matching their high-flying opponents.
Progress despite the disappointment
Moyes was eager to focus on the overall display rather than dwelling entirely on the dramatic conclusion.
The experienced manager emphasised that the disciplined performance is clear proof of his team’s upward trajectory this season.
Everton must now regroup and channel this promising defensive organisation into their upcoming domestic fixtures.
