Cesc Fabregas says the Arsenal team will rally around
Jens Lehmann after his error in the 1-1 draw at Blackburn on
Sunday.
After 71 minutes at Ewood Park, the German keeper let David
Dunn's long-range effort slip through his fingers to hand the
home side a priceless equaliser. Arsène Wenger said that the
37-year-old was 'upset and down' in the dressing room after
the game but Fabregas said the team would be standing behind him.
"When I make a mistake I don't like people shouting at
me," said the 20-year-old midfielder. "I just have to
think about what I did wrong and put it right. Now Jens has to
think about it himself but of course we are all alongside him. He
does not have to apologise.
"This is a team. Since the beginning of the season we said we
will always be together. We are together now and we are strong. We
showed that at Blackburn. There was one mistake and we lost two
very important points. But it is still very early [in the
season]."
