Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has said that his team's start to the season is "totally unacceptable".

The North London club have lost four of their seven games so far and their most recent defeat to rivals Tottenham has left Arsenal at 15th place in the Premier League table with seven points.

"It's been a difficult time for my club," Ramsey said. "It's been quite frustrating so far with the problems that have been happening in the last few games.

"Arsenal are one of the top clubs in England and where we are at the moment is totally unacceptable.

"We need to start winning on a regular basis and getting higher up the table."

Arsenal take on Sunderland after the international break.
