Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta was proud after his team’s 4-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. The Gunners had dropped points against Brentford and the lowest-placed team Wolves as they had shared the spoils against these two teams.

However, the visitors were at their best against the Lilywhites as Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres scored a brace to help their team bag a convincing win. 

After Eze found the back of the net in the 32nd minute, Randal Kolo Muani scored the equaliser for the home team after two minutes. However, Arsenal responded strongly in the second half.

“It feels like we showed what we are made of,” Arteta said after the match. “But then you have to show it again and again and again because if you have to just analyse how you feel after every game, it’s a massive rollercoaster and it’s not sustainable.

“I cannot be prouder and happier for what I’ve seen out there, but especially the way we lived the last 72 hours because I think this game in particular needed some context.

“After what happened against Wolves and the manner that we lost two points in the last kick of the game, it was tough. But that’s the beauty of this game. There is no explanation watching the game back how the hell we draw that game. From any angle, you watch it back and say ‘it’s impossible.’ and you have to watch it again and say it’s not going to happen.

“But it happened, and then you have to lift yourself up because you’re feeling angry, upset, [and] ashamed at some point. And we are all different nationalities, we all have different feelings, and then you have to bring everybody together. And it’s been a joy to spend that time together with them, to align everybody and to say, ‘OK, what is going to be happening in the next chapter?’”

Arsenal will next take on Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
