Arsenal’s boss, Mikel Arteta, says that his team must focus on what is in their hands after a “big day” beating Manchester City.
The Gunners tore the Champions of the Premier League, scoring four goals in the second half to take revenge for a fiery draw at Etihad earlier in the season.
Young Guns Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri both scored, sending the northern crowd in a frenzy.
And while Artata was clearly satisfied with the result, he admitted that Arsenal had to remain concentrated if they wanted to win the title of the Premier League.
He said, “It’s a great day. Given the opposition we have played, the result we have obtained and the way we did. This makes it a special day.
“Many things have to go in your sense.
“They are so good that they force you to be deeper and to be in a situation that you do not want to be. Sometimes you need a little luck and after that, you need to be effective. We had to be courageous and it paid.
“So is it possible?”
