Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after the match - REUTERSpixArteta saluted Arsenal’s hunger as the gritty Gunners ignored the absence of Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard to clinch an “ugly” 1-0 win at bitter rivals Tottenham on Sunday.
The Brazilian defender’s first goal since February made it three wins from four league games for unbeaten Arsenal as they chase a first title since 2004 after two successive runners-up finishes. “I prepared for Tottenham for five days, then in one moment I lost one player and in another I lost another. I didn’t sleep much!
Arteta believes Arsenal’s latest success behind enemy lines with stand them in good stead for a daunting week.“It is a tough week coming up. The players believe already. We have a won a lot of big games, but this will give us a lot of energy and belief.”Since the start of last season, Arsenal have scored more goals from dead-ball positions than any other team in the Premier League.
But Postecoglou insisted that wasn’t the reason for the loss, instead pointing at Tottenham’s lack of cutting edge and composure in the final third.
