The team had taken an early lead thanks to Erling Haaland's goal, but conceded in the final ten minutes to Gabriel Martinelli.

Reijnders reflected on the match, saying, "We had a few chances to make it 2-0, but conceding a goal in the last minute left us feeling disappointed."

He acknowledged the difficulty of playing against Arsenal, stating, "Playing here is not easy. We have to keep working."

Reijnders also discussed the assist that led to Haaland's goal, explaining, "I was initially looking to pass to Jeremy Doku, but he had to beat an opponent. Erling was free, so I passed to him."
