Slavisa Jokanovic Says Defensive Errors Cost Them Against Arsenal

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic blames defensive errors after they crashed to a 5-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League.

Alexandre Lacazette opened the proceedings just before the half hour mark but Andre Schurrle restored parity prior to the interval. But after the break the floodgate got opened as the Gunners pumped in dour more past a hapless Marcus Bettinelli.

Lacazette added another after the break followed by a glorious finish by Aaron Ramsey. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rounded off the evening with a brace as Fulham continued their defensive misery in the Premier League.

Jokanovic does have some serious work to do on his defence as they have already shipped in 21 goals. The manager said, “We played the first 45 minutes well, created chances and gave them questions. But in the second half they scored very easy goals. We opened all the doors.

“At the moment we’re showing so many weaknesses for the level we are at, defensively. We need to improve quickly on this.

“I believe my team tried. After they scored a second, I tried to find some way to equalise the game. We finished the game with 21 shots, and the other team nine. But they showed the quality, the pace, the strength too.”
