Mikel Arteta is taking responsibility for Arsenal's disappointing 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, admitting that his team's sloppy defending cost them a chance to keep pace with Premier League leaders Liverpool. After building a 2-0 lead, Arsenal collapsed midway through the second half, allowing Villa to score two goals and snatch a point. 

Arteta praised his players for their dominance and performance, but was critical of their defensive mistakes, saying "the way we defended, especially the second goal, can't be part of our game".

 He also expressed frustration that his team couldn't hold on to their lead, dropping points that could have kept them closer to Liverpool. The draw leaves Arsenal six points behind the leaders, with Liverpool holding a game in hand.

Arteta's honesty and willingness to take blame are admirable, but the team's inconsistency is a concern, and they'll need to regroup and refocus to get their title bid back on track.
