We bossed them for a long time after the first goal

and that goal was sheer class. Tettey/ Fer / Howson looked very very good after that to the point the Gooners were getting restless. We were unlucky to then go two down and the team showed real spirit to pull one back, We were still in it even at this point. Hughton has to take the blame for a very poor tactical substitution. We were crying out for Redmond to add a bit of width. It was no surprise that the goal came from an Olssen run to the line and cross. Snograss failed time and again to go past anyone. When he did attack it was a selfish half hearted hit when the cross to better players would have been better. He needs to be rested. Hoolahan was awful. Lightweight and bossed out of the game. Would have preferred Johnson to come on for Tettey. Assuming he was swapped after the clash of heads. If not it was tactical ineptitude of the highest order.
