Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his side’s dominant first-half display after a solid victory away from home, describing it as “exceptional” and the foundation for their success. The Gunners scored twice before the break and defended resolutely in the second half, giving “nothing away” despite losing some control after key changes.
Arteta also lauded Viktor Gyökeres for one of his best performances in an Arsenal shirt before being forced off with a muscular issue. Declan Rice earned special mention for his commanding midfield presence, with Arteta calling his ball-winning and tackling efforts a sign of his continued evolution.
The opponents had lost just once in 18 months at home—highlighting the significance of the result.
