Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta admitted for the first time that the Gunners are fighting for the Premier League title with Manchester City. In the match of the 15th round of the English Championship, "Arsenal" narrowly defeated "Chelsea" (1:0).
Mikel Arteta"Today we are fighting for the title. But in football, today and tomorrow are completely different. Let's enjoy this moment. Take a look at what Manchester City have been up to over the past six years. With the best coach in the world, the best team in the world. They have consistently demonstrated this in every single competition. We have to respect that. We are getting much better as a team and more competitive. We have great results now, but we have a long way to go.
We were under pressure today because we lost first place. We prepared for the game to come here and win. We understand that winning at Stamford Bridge is a completely different story. What we did today was just phenomenal," Goal quoted the 40-year-old specialist as saying.
Victory over Chelsea returned Arsenal to first place in the Premier League standings. Arteta's men are now two points ahead of City.
