Arsenal lose 3-1 to Real Betis in a pre-season friendly in Dublin, and Mikel Arteta says his players are “fuming” after the match. According to reports, Betis take control early, scoring three times in the first half after punishing a series of defensive errors by Arsenal. The result means Arsenal go into the second half trailing by two or three goals, with Betis continuing to benefit from the mistakes. While the sources focus on the nature of Betis’ goals—coming from Arsenal’s defensive lapses rather than from a lack of effort—the overall match is framed as a disappointing performance for Arsenal ahead of the new season. Arteta’s comments reflect the squad’s reaction to the defeat, emphasising frustration with how the goals were conceded. Both outlets describe the same key sequence: Betis exploit Arsenal’s defensive problems to build an early lead and ultimately secure the win.
