Unai Emery spoke of his frustration as Aston Villa suffered a last-gasp 4-2 defeat to Arsenal at Villa Park.
Villa twice took the lead through Ollie Watkins and Philippe Coutinho, only for Bukayo Saka and Oleksandr Zinchenko to level for the Gunners each time.
The clash looked set to end all square before drama unfolded in injury time, Jorginho’s long-range strike rebounding off the underside of the crossbar and hitting the back of an unfortunate Emi Martínez in the 93rd minute.
Gabriel Martinelli then added a fourth deep into added time to inflict a second successive 4-2 home defeat on Villa, and a third consecutive Premier League loss.
“I’m really frustrated,” Emery told VillaTV post-match.
“It’s embarrassing to do the same in two matches, each goal (4-2), at home here with our supporters.
“I don’t know exactly, but we are not playing, being competitive at home.
“And we are not playing, really, in the idea I want in the team. I don’t know exactly why.
“I think we are playing with intensity, we are playing with passion, running, scoring goals quickly. But we are not playing football controlling the ball, the game, controlling the positioning, of the time in the 90 minutes.
“We are scoring one goal quickly and we are waiting in the 90 minutes, pass as soon as possible and don’t play the match in the way we were preparing – being consistent and being confident in the 90 minutes in our ideal style.
“And, really, I’m disappointed because I think the reaction will be quick and being very, very different like we have shown in the last two matches against Leicester and today.”
