LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta hailed their derby victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and called on his team to celebrate every single moment of being eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.
An early own goal from Hugo Lloris and a fine Martin Odegaard strike helped Arsenal complete a first league double over Tottenham since 2013-14, with the Gunners winning away at Spurs for the first time in the league since March 2014.
"I'm very happy for two reasons," Arteta said."One because I saw a lot of determination, quality and that we really wanted today to come here and win the game. "It's great and to go in the dressing room and just feeling the joy and the togetherness around the team and how much it meant for them is special."
