Danny
Welbeck admits there was little evidence of Arsenal's desire to beat Manchester
City in the wake of their 2-2 draw on Sunday, adding that they dropped two
points.
City led
twice in north London through Leroy Sane - who gave his team the lead after
just five minutes - and Sergio Aguero, with Theo Walcott and Shkodran Mustafi
netting in the first and second half respectively to get the hosts back on
level terms.
Chances were
in short supply after the German's 53rd-minute header, though, the result
leaving City 11 points back from league leaders Chelsea, while Arsenal are
seven points outside the Champions League qualification places.
And Welbeck
praised his side for responding to going behind but was left frustrated by
their failure to force a winner, with the pressure on manager Arsene Wenger,
who is out of contract at the end of the season and facing calls to quit,
unlikely to have eased.
"I
think we have to look at the performance and see where we conceded the
goals," Welbeck told Sky Sports. "Great character from us to respond
in the way that we did.
"Obviously
at this point in the season, it's not good enough for us. We want to be further
up the league. We dropped two points. It's something we're going to have to
build on in the next game," he added, referring to Wednesday's home match
against West Ham.
"Two
attacking teams, two teams who want to play with the ball, have possession. A
bit of a cagey game in these sort of surrounds. [But] we wanted the three
points."
