In the second round match of the English Premier League Arsenal lost Stoke City 1: 0 on the road. The only goal was a newcomer to the "potters".
In the second half Arsenal striker Alexandru Lacazette managed to send the ball into the net of the opponent's goal net, but the goal was canceled due to the offside position.
"I think that we were not lucky. In the moment with our goal there was no offside position.
This should have been a very simple decision, because Lacazette was not in offside, "- said Wenger.
"It's hard to swallow this defeat.". We had moments - we had to win comfortably. But in the moment with a missed goal we can not have excuses. We allowed the opponent to score a "cheap" goal. The game of my central defenders did not convince me ".
This defeat means that Arsenal can not win the first two games of the new season of the Premier League since 2009.
