Arteta reveals key factors behind Arsenal's comeback win over Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta, manager of the "Gunners" Arsenal, expressed his happiness and pride in his team's performance after they came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 in the English Premier League last night. This victory gave them 9 points from 3 matches, matching league leaders Manchester City. He sees the team's form combined with the fans' support as crucial factors for the win.
Arteta said, “I am very happy. I think it was an incredible game both to watch and to coach. It was exciting from start to finish—the level of play, the quality, how we competed, how we attacked, and the fluidity. The danger we created against a strong opponent was amazing.”
“The fans supported the team amazingly, and when that happens, it’s very difficult for opponents to handle both factors simultaneously. So, it was a very joyful moment.”
“We showed real composure and were clear about our intentions—what we needed to do—and demonstrated incredible quality. We had to be patient and created plenty of chances. They scored; we scored but had a goal disallowed; yet we kept playing on, and that’s why I think we were rewarded with the win.”
“You can see where we stand compared to the league, and how we maintain that level. We still have a lot of room to improve in many areas, and that must be our focus and demand among ourselves because we can reach an even higher level both individually and as a team, and we will continue working toward that.”
