Mikel Arteta reaction — What did Arsenal boss say after Gunners put one hand on Premier League title?
Thoughts on the game? “We knew it was going to be tough especially when we didn’t close the game out in the first half with the chances that we have.”
“We didn’t concede anything but in the Premier League, anything can get you, you never know. … “That’s one of the abilities of this team — If we’re not able to make two or three goals, we certainly can make it difficult for opponents to score.”
Not an easy game despite Burnley’s relegation: “It’s never going to be easy especially with the quality this Premier League has. Burnley are going to be relegated but they are a top team with a good coach. That’s the beauty of this league.”
Kai Havertz dodged a red card, sometimes you need a bit of luck? “Look at every action this season and we’re not going to get anything we don’t deserve.”
Will you watch Bournemouth vs Man City? “I don’t know yet. I just want to enjoy tonight. Tomorrow we’ll see.”
“What we have to do is prepare them for Crystal Palace in the best possible way.”
Thoughts on Pep potentially leaving City: “Once he makes that decision, then we can talk about it. But no one should talk about it until then.”
