In round 7 of the Premier League, Arsenal hosted Southampton at home. They faced many difficulties, especially when their opponents took the lead with a goal from Cameron Archer. However, the Gunners still came back very strongly with 3 goals, thereby ending the match with a 3-1 victory.
In the last 3 matches in the Premier League, Arsenal have had to go through difficult moments. They were behind against Man City, Leicester City equalized 2-2 after leading 2-0 and Southampton took the lead. But in the end, Arteta and his team still knew how to overcome difficulties, holding Man City to a draw and defeating the remaining two opponents.
Former player Dion Dublin was impressed by Arsenal's spirit of overcoming difficulties. He stressed that this was something he had not seen from the London team for many years, according to Tbr Football: "Arsenal have something new that I have not seen for many years. They have maintained their resilience and determination in an incredible way.
They are all ready to fight and are happy to do it with all their might. Now, they have strong hearts, because they have suffered a lot of pain in the past.”
Arsenal have been empty-handed in the Premier League for more than 20 years. Every time they get close to the finish line, the Gunners often make mistakes due to their weak mentality. Many experts and fans even nicknamed Arsenal “nursery” because of their immaturity. However, it is clear that things are gradually changing.
After Arsenal's win over Leicester City, The Independent's Miguel Delaney also praised the Gunners' change: "The Arsenal manager knows how frustrating it is to be 2-0 down and then 2-2 down. That's why he's so excited. His team didn't let emotions get the better of them, as they have done so many times in the past."
