The 39-year-old said his team should have been more aggressive against Arsenal.
“The set pieces changed the game,” Amorim told Match of the Day.
“We could’ve been more aggressive towards the Arsenal box. Until the set pieces the game didn’t have too many opportunities for both sides, the set pieces killed the game.
