Arteta reacts as Arsenal defeats Man Utd

Arsenal enjoyed two straight wins against top clubs this week, first their 4-2 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge during the week and then a 3-1 victory over Man Utd at Emirate stadium.

The Gunners manager Mikel Arteta in a latest statement has described the Gunners win over Manchester United as a ‘phenomenal game’ as they are now six points ahead of the Red Devils.

Arteta said, “I think it was a phenomenal game for the spectators and the fans. For us it was a bit of a rollercoaster. We wanted to start the game really quick, really fast.

Dominating them, creating issues, very vertical, and we managed to do that. We dominated big periods in the first half. We scored two goals. But then that moment when they scored straight after our second goal, left us a little bit cold and insecure to how they reacted.

So we had a period of five to ten minutes where we weren’t really clear on what to do and we were trembling. At the start of the second half, again we had some problems to occupy some spaces that they are really good at, and they have so much quality to exploit.

Then when they missed their penalty, and we made the change in shape and scored the goal, I think that’s where we won it.”
