Captain Francesc Fabregas has said that the team has no one to blame but themselves for the naive defending that resulted in the 2-1 defeat against Porto last night.

Whilst manager Arsène Wenger chose to blame the referee's performance, Fabregas was more critical (and honest), saying that there was nothing to complain about.

Porto's winning goal was the result of a quick indirect free kick at an unguarded Arsenal goal, awarded after defender Sol Campbell's backpass was picked up by Lukasz Fabianski.

Fabregas said: "Maybe as a player I would have done the same. Schoolboy's goal, what can you do? Nothing, nothing to complain [about].

"After the second goal we went down, maybe we are still a little bit soft in that aspect as a team when we concede a goal maybe sometimes we are not strong enough to lift ourselves up.

"That's what happened really, we were not strong enough to stand up and play well but until the second goal I think we were having a very good game."
