The former England striker went on to say that Arsenal has the best back four in the Premier League, highlighting their excellent teamwork and protection. He added that even when faced with a one-goal deficit, it is extremely difficult for any team to make a comeback against Arsenal.
At full-time, Arteta also commended his team's gritty performance and their willingness to fight for a win. Despite facing a tough week, the team chose to face the challenge head-on and play with courage, showcasing their strengths and abilities on the field.
The Arsenal manager stressed the importance of being able to do the "ugly" things in football in order to secure a victory. He expressed his pride in his team's ability to enjoy these challenges and mentioned that it is a great compliment to their current form. Arteta also added that when a team is able to do the difficult tasks, they are often rewarded with a positive outcome.
