Arteta delighted with Arsenal's third straight win over Tottenham

In the 21st round of the 2024-25 Premier League, Arsenal defeated Tottenham 2-1 at home, making Mikel Arteta the first coach to lead Arsenal to beat Tottenham three times in a row in the league.

This achievement was achieved as early as 1989 when George Graham coached Arsenal, but no one has achieved it since Graham left. Now Arteta has reproduced this achievement and he is also happy for this victory.

In the post-match interview, Arteta said: "I am very happy. We have the opportunity to make a lot of supporters very happy because this is a special day in the season, and I think we did it. In addition, I think they will be proud of the team, the players we have and the way they represent this club."

"Today was one of the best atmospheres I've ever seen. That's what we have to keep doing, I said it in the press conference, it's up to us, no one else can control it. Some things we can't control, but we can definitely control the atmosphere, so let's make the most of it."

This victory was also Arsenal's comeback victory after three consecutive games without winning. Arteta believed that the players' performance deserved the victory. Arteta said: "We had two excellent games, but we didn't get any results. It shouldn't be like this at all, but this is football."

“Then you have to play the most important game of the season at home and when everyone starts to question and point out who made the mistakes, the team reacts in a way that shows real determination and desire to give it their all from the first minute of the game.”

"We created so many chances even though we were one goal down and fully deserved to win the game. Regardless of the result, the team's performance was very good and consistent. If we continue like this, we will be in a good position by April."

Arsenal currently ranks second in the Premier League with 43 points, 4 points behind Liverpool, which is in first place. Arsenal's next Premier League game will be on January 19, also at home against Aston Villa.
