The ex-Gunners midfielder saw positive signs from the game though, saying about the performance.
He added: "I was very pleased with the first 15-20 minutes, the way we came out and dominated the game.
"After 20-25 minutes we started to give sloppy passes away, gave throw-ins, corners away and that sequence is difficult to get out of here.
"They are very good at chipping the ball forward, the best way to stop it is to have control of the ball. It did disturb the way we wanted to attack but it's not an excuse. Granit [Xhaka] played there and did well.
"The way the boys defended was really good and I think we have improved a lot in the way we concede chances."
Arteta will be hoping the time spent in Dubai will help kickstart their season and begin an unlikely push for the Champions League places.

Man almost loses hearing after cotton bud gets lodged deep in his ear
It’s something that many people do without think twice, but a new video may put you off cleaning your ears with a cotton bud.
The video shows a complex operation performed to remove the tip of a cotton bud from a man’s ear that was on the verge of costing him his hearing.
Mr Neel Raithatha, an audiologist based in Oadby, Leicester, posted the footage to his YouTube channel.
The patient had been attempting to use a cotton bud to relieve an itch in his ear, when he discovered the tip had got lost in his ear.
Mr Raithatha explained: “The client attended with a cotton bud q-tip stuck against his eardrum. He suffers from Otitis Externa [inflammation of the external ear canal] and was using the cotton bud q-tip in an attempt to relieve the itchiness and irritation he was experiencing.”
Upon inspection, Mr Raithatha discovered that the ear canal was heavily inflamed, meaning he couldn’t use the standard suction probe, and had to resort to a fine ended probe.
Me Raithatha added: “I managed to extract the cotton bud enough to then use crocodile forceps to extracted the cotton bud.”
Thankfully, the patient retained his hearing, and was referred to his GP for future treatment.

While many people use cotton buds to remove wax and reach those deep itches, the NHS strongly advises against this.
On its help page, the NHS advised: “Cotton buds only push the wax/debris further down the ear canal and can lead to impacted wax, which can be painful.
“Also if the cotton part of the bud falls off into the canal, it can cause infection.
“The cotton buds can also scratch the canal and make it bleed which can lead to infection.”

Alexi told : `` I ’ m not worried about loyalty , I don ’ t mind stepping on anyone ’ s toes .
If I want something I ’ m going to go for it , especially if there ’ s a girl I ’ ve got my eyes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Islandfans slammed Jess after calling Luke M ‘ fake ’ before sneakily asking Mike to ‘ go upstairs ’ with her .

“ If you go I would be seriously considering going as well , ” Mike told Jess , before she suggestively replied : “ Are we going upstairs ... why are you being shy ?
” Fans naturally had strong opinions on the two singletons , with viewers not taking favourably to Jess moving so quickly .
