‘It’s a huge win’ – Mikel Arteta hails Arsenal win over Leicester to lay down gauntlet for Man City

Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal’s vital 1-0 win over Leicester City, which at least temporarily moved the Gunners five points clear. Gabriel Martinelli’s goal within a minute of the second half was enough to secure all three points in a hard-fought contest at the King Power Stadium. Ad “I think for the amount of time that we dominated the ball, possession and territory, the amount of situations that we created in the final third, we should have created much more and scored more goals,” Arteta told Sky Sports.

I think we conceded one chance, one shot off target, only so I think defensively the team was outstanding. Great, because it’s a really difficult place to come here and win.

We’ve done it and it’s a huge win.” “Obviously, we want to start fast [in the second half] and start to get in their toes again. It was a really good moment to give us the advantage.” Leandro Trossard thought he had broken the deadlock in the first half in an effort which was subsequently disallowed following Ben White’s tussle with Danny Ward.
