Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta refused to put any blame on goalkeeper David Raya after he made two errors leading to goals in their 4-3 win over Luton Town on Tuesday night.
Raya was culpable as the hosts scored twice in eight minutes to take the lead in the second.
The on-loan Brentford stopper was caught out of position by a corner kick, which allowed Elijah Adebayo to make it 2-2 and then let a Ross Barkley shot squirm underneath him to give the hosts the lead.
But Kai Havertz equalised, and then Declan Rice headed in the winner in the seventh minute of added time.
"We have to defend better the situations as a team. There are certain things leading to the goals and it's not about blaming, we have never done it, and we're not going to do it now.
"It's about how the team reacts to that, because it's going to happen, and I love that response," Arteta told reporters when asked about Raya's display.
