Mikel Arteta praised Arsenal's performance after the important victory over Chelsea and said that the team had demonstrated significant progress on par with last season.

“This is a great victory for us, and it also helps that this season the league will be incredibly easy,” Arteta said.

According to the words of the Spanish coach, the result may add success to the players and show that the team is capable of competing on a much higher level. Arteta especially emphasized the vigor of the gris, as the Gunners demonstrated this evening.

“Today we saw that our team is performing on a par, which is superior to what we showed last season,” added the Arsenal head coach.

Arteta understands that his team is facing a long and stressful season ahead. Competition in the Premier League is traditionally not high, so victory can be of great importance in the struggle for the highest positions.

However, the mentor is pleased with how the team starts the season, and is confident that this result will become less of a cob. It is important for Arsenal not to lose points, but to step up to the level that allows them to compete for the title of trophy.
