Arsenal picked up another crucial three points on Wednesday evening as they beat Manchester United 2-0 at Emirates Stadium. The victory was the Gunners’ fourth consecutive in all competitions, and it also arrived on the same night Premier League title rivals Liverpool dropped points.
Arne Slot’s conceded a last-minute equaliser to Newcastle, with the gap at the top subsequently reduced down to seven points. Chelsea, meanwhile, moved into second after beating Southampton 5-1, with their goal difference now superior to Arsenal’s.
Following a run of just one win in five before the November international break, Arteta was very pleased to see his team performing at this level again. “Very happy. Special night celebrating 500 games at this stadium against an opponent with so much history between the clubs and the teams,” he told reporters.
