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.

“Things have to go in your sense and the line is so thin. I liked the team to showed a lot of personality and competitiveness.

“We must continue to do the things we can control. Today was a difficult game for us and we managed to do it. »»

Captain Martin Odegaard marked the opener for the local team and was a constant threat to the artillerymen in the middle of the field.

He was delighted with the way his teammates supported and finally checked the game.

He added: “It was a leading game and a higher result. The atmosphere was incredible, and we all appreciated that one.

“We were rewarded by the high press, we won the ball and marked. The second half they marked, but the way we reacted was brilliant. Then, after that, it was incredible what we did.

“There is a lot of pressure in this match, but we played a brilliant game. We know we can beat any team and today we have shown it. »»
