MONDAY'S BIG STORIES Pep and Mikel bossing it Ad Oh he’s good. So good that Manchester United fans were leaving at half-time. So good that one fan appearing to wear a Manchester United shirt in the first half wore a Manchester City one in the second half (it’s doing the rounds on Twitter).
Mikel Arteta has played down his Arsenal side’s chances of winning the Premier League following a great start to the season. The Gunners have won seven of their eight games to top the table, the 3-1 defeat to Manchester United last month the only time they have dropped points this season.
In the 90th minute, Mikel Arteta finally had to start enjoying himself. Hard work, sacrifice, suffering: most of the time, these are the foundation stones of the Arteta method. You work, you fight, you suffer, and if you’re lucky you get to do it all again in five days. Even in the closing stages here, as Arsenal gleefully toyed with Tottenham and the Emirates lapsed into calypso mode, Arteta had lost none of his skittish focus: still urging his team forward, still whirling his arms round and round like a damaged toy.
Under manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are “slowly erasing those scars” that have haunted the club over the years, according to BT Sport’s Rio Ferdinand. The Gunners have made a blistering start to the Premier League season, the 3-1 victory over Tottenham in the North London Derby cementing their place at the top of the table. Ad Arteta’s side have won seven of their eight games this season, a 3-1 loss to Manchester United is the only match they have dropped points in so far this campaign.
Manager Mikel Arteta was delighted after Arsenal retained their place at the top of the Premier League with a fine London derby victory over 10-man Tottenham.
Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table after defeating 10-men Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the north London Derby, extending their unbeaten home record to seven games in all competitions. The Gunners started off by far the better side and could have had the lead in the third minute, only for Gabriel Martinelli’s low shot on the half volley to come back off the near post.
Mikel Arteta his hopeful his decision to select a full-strength Arsenal side won’t backfire in Saturday’s crucial north London derby.
Arsenal boss believes the North London derby against Tottenham is a ‘very special’ rivalry. Arteta has experienced the derby against Spurs as a player, as well as the Merseyside derby as an Everton player against Liverpool, and the Auld Firm Derby. As Manchester City assistant coach he has also seen Manchester City and United face off.
