Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta commented on his team’s decisive victory over Aston Villa (4:1) in the match of the 19th round of the English Premier League. The words of the Spanish footballer are suggested by the press service of the London club and Sky Sports.

According to Arteta, the duel from the very beginning achieved maximum concentration, and even the gunners faced a supernik who, having been in a miraculous form, managed to survive in a series of 11.

" We've been playing for three days, and today we've teamed up with the team, which is extremely difficult to deal with. “We knew that the match would be emotionally charged and that there would be a lot of splits,” said the coach..

Arteta realized that the start of the match will not be easy for his team:.

“During the first ten weeks it was important for us - we got a little tired, and our opponent passed through our lines and created dangerous moments in the open space. But then we woke up, lost more control and began to regularly threaten the gates."

The Arsenal coach strongly emphasized the team’s effectiveness, which became a key difference in the previous matches:.

“Besides many of the remaining games, since we created a lot of chances, and never realized them, today we were extremely accurate and effective. The goal was scored in a fantastic way, and we fought hard for the ball."

Arteta also praised the performance of defender Gabriel, who returned to the line after injury:.

" He happened to capture Ollie Watkins, one of the league’s most vulnerable forwards, and dealt with him in cold blood.”.

After 19 rounds, Arsenal gained 45 points and finished the Premier League standings, ahead of Manchester City by five points, with which the locals have the match in reserve.
