Premier League 2024-25: Courageous derby win shows Arsenal firmly in title race, Arteta says

The Hindu  

Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta hailed his side’s 2-1 comeback win against north London rival Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday as proof his side remains firmly in the Premier League title race, although he rued their failure to kill the game off despite ample opportunity. “I think we were sensational,” Arteta told reporters after the game, which had come after his side had lost two cup games in quick succession and suffered another major injury blow, this time to Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus, who is out for the season. A 2-0 defeat at home by Newcastle United last week in the League Cup semifinal first leg and then a penalty shootout exit at home against Manchester United in the FA Cup third round had left Arsenal’s season in danger of unravelling. Asked whether Wednesday’s result had proved to any doubters that Arsenal remains serious title chasers, Arteta said: “We are, because there is so much to play for, and we can see how difficult it is for every team to win.” Son Heung-min had put Tottenham in front in the 25th minute, but Arsenal drew level when an inswinging corner was deflected into his own net by Spurs striker Dominic Solanke.
