Read our privacy policy Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal’s sensational display after they bounced back from recent cup disappointment to win 2-1 at home to Tottenham and reignite their Premier League title hopes. It failed to rock the Gunners, who had been knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United on Sunday and lost 2-0 at home to Newcastle last Tuesday, with their seventh corner able to produce a leveller after 40 minutes when Gabriel’s header went in off Tottenham forward Dominic Solanke. “I think we fully deserved to win the game and I think we made a lot of people really happy but really proud to see a team that behaves the way they have played again.” Recent league draws with Brighton and Everton had damaged Arsenal’s league aspirations, especially with Liverpool previously in imperious form. “The result gives us the chance to enjoy the moment, instead of momentum because the momentum start tomorrow to prepare Aston Villa in three days.” Ange Postecoglou refused to make any excuses after his depleted Tottenham team tasted defeat for an 11th time in the Premier League this term.
