Mikel Arteta Confirms Arsenal's Premier League Title Ambitions After 5-1 Victory Over Crystal Palace
Following a commanding 5-1 win against Crystal Palace, Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta reaffirms the team's determination to compete for the Premier League title this season.
In the aftermath of Arsenal's impressive 5-1 triumph over Crystal Palace, manager Mikel Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance and reiterated their commitment to challenging for the Premier League title. The victory, highlighted by goals from Gabriel Jesus (2), Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice, propelled Arsenal to third place in the league standings.
Arteta acknowledged the difficulty of securing such a decisive win at Selhurst Park, especially facing the same opponent twice within a few days. He praised the team's dominance and the hunger displayed throughout the match, stating, 'The way we played reflects everything about the team, the hunger, and what we have in mind.'
Addressing the club's title aspirations, Arteta emphasized the importance of consistent excellence over the long season. He remarked, 'We want it, but we have to work excellently for ten months... We are trying. From our perspective, we still have a chance for the championship.'
The manager also commented on the performance of Gabriel Jesus, who has scored five goals in two matches, describing his contributions as 'fantastic.' However, concerns arose regarding Bukayo Saka, who was substituted after feeling discomfort, with Arteta noting that Saka would undergo further evaluation.
