'They are fuming!' - Mikel Arteta reveals angry Arsenal dressing room reaction to 'upset' Real Betis defeat

• ## Gunners fall to pre-season defeat - Arsenal suffered a disappointing 3-1 pre-season defeat against Real Betis. The English side struggled defensively from the outset at a packed Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

• ## Quick two-goal lead for Real Betis - Rodrigo Riquelme and Nelson Deossa quickly raced into a two-goal lead inside the opening exchanges. Piero Hincapie managed to pull one back for Arsenal, but former West Ham United midfielder Pablo Fornals restored the two-goal advantage shortly before half-time.

• ## Arteta welcomes dressing room anger - Despite the incredibly sloppy performance on the pitch, Arteta was quietly pleased with the passionate reaction from his squad. The Spaniard revealed that the players were visibly frustrated with their own defensive lapses during the interval.
