On September 28, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Arsenal beat Leicester City 4-2 with some difficulty. After the game, Arsenal’s head coach Mikel Arteta shared his thoughts on the match.
About the Match
Firstly, I am very happy with the players’ performance today. I think the team’s performance was incredible, we should have scored more goals, but we deserved the victory. The goal we conceded at the beginning of the second half made the game harder, and then they equalized. To take the lead again, we created chance after chance, and the quality shown by the team was incredible. We shouldn’t have had to work so hard for the win, but that’s football.
About the Team’s Mental State
It was great. The players’ adaptability on the pitch, especially after the score became 2-2, meant we had to compete under difficult conditions against a tough opponent. We had many chances, and the players knew what they needed to do and kept going until we earned the right to win. Justin’s goal was world-class.
About Scoring Two Goals in Stoppage Time
We could have had a different result because of those two conceded goals. But I’m super happy with the players’ performance.
About the Possibility of a Draw
There was a possibility, this is the Premier League, every team has the ability to cause problems. Today they scored two goals with limited opportunities, but that’s their capability.
