In round 12 of the Premier League, Arsenal beat Tottenham 4-1. In the context of Man City's sudden fall, the Gunners also increased the lead gap with the chasing group to 6 points.
Despite the clear advantage, coach Arteta has remained cautious. When asked about the distance from the chasing teams, he said: "In this tournament? Not much. We are doing very well. We are very stable and that's all.
Before the match against Tottenham, Arsenal unexpectedly lost a series of 10 consecutive wins when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Sunderland. Arteta stressed the importance of returning after stumbling: "In the previous match, we lost 2 points against Sunderland and our winning streak.
We entered the international break with a bitter feeling. Now, we want to regain that momentum of progress once again. This is a good start.
In the win over Tottenham, Eberechi Eze became the focus of the match when he scored an impressive hat-trick. The Arsenal midfielder continuously makes Spurs' defense dizzy thanks to his wide range, soft ball handling and powerful finishing.
Coach Arteta showed his intention to carry Arsenal's attack in the future: "' And he has qualities and the ability to finish action in many different ways, so we need to arrange him to play very close to the penalty area. In addition, he also knows how to make breakthroughs like the pass that created an opportunity for Declan Rice.
We need to develop his abilities. The more he spends there, the better it's for the team."
After the win over Tottenham, Arsenal will not have much time to rest. The two upcoming matches will be extremely tense for Arteta and his team, because they will have to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League before meeting Chelsea in the Premier League next week.
