Arteta reacts to the win
Mikel Arteta praised his team after a comeback victory against Leeds United on Sunday. The Gunners fell behind when James Justin scored in the 55th minute at Emirates Stadium. Riccardo Calafiori and substitute Bruno Guimaraes scored to secure the 2-1 win. The result moves the team level on points with Manchester City at the top of the table.
Arteta admitted that his team had a point to prove following a heavy 3-0 defeat at Brighton prior to the international break. He stated that their identity was questioned after that performance. The manager mentioned that the three-week break was difficult to process while thinking about what went wrong in that match.
Overcoming early struggles
The manager noted that preparation was tough because sixteen players were away for three weeks. Facing a Leeds side that had not lost in the Premier League added to the challenge. Arteta explained that playing at 12.30 at home after a defeat is a bad mixture, but the team showed their desire to win.
Bruno Guimaraes made a strong impact from the bench for the second time. He previously scored a decisive goal at Sunderland last month. Arteta highlighted that this quality is needed at the top level to continue winning matches.
