"I was pleased with our performance up until the penalty," Hoddle said after the game at Highbury.
"I thought Henry was looking to go down. We stuck to our game plan and they found it very hard to get through us.
"We had to have a go then. We finished with four forwards and that gave them space to exploit."
"We're building slowly but surely. We can carry on and do better in our league.
"We've got a big game coming up against Sunderland on Friday."
