Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta commented on his team's victory in the central match of the tour against Manchester City.
- I am proud of our team. It was the right moment with the right people and the right players. We knew we had to be patient, and we were. In such big matches, you need the support of the stands. This is a great victory for us.
We didn't start the match in the best way, allowing the opponent to take a corner, but then we settled the game. In the second half, we were excellent. We dictated the game and were really aggressive. Substitutions also helped. In the episode with the goal, they demonstrated top-level skills.
"Manchester City always cause a lot of problems, but we were also unpleasant for the opposition. It's not easy to get something out of a match like this. You need to choose the right moment, make the right move and manage your chances well. I liked our courage," said Mikel Arteta.

Смотрел матч. Видел осторожность, видел перестраховку (как бы чего не вышло), видел тягомотину пасовую; видел, как будучи у чужой штрафной вместо того, чтобы обострять давали 3-4 паса назад и откатывались с мячом аж до своих ворот; видел, как за 30 минут матча общее число ударов 2-х команд, которые летели в направлении ворот было аж 5, а в створ ворот - аж 1. И это в матче таких монстров, как МС и Арсенал. Всё это видел в исполнении 2-х команд, особенно Арсенала, особенно в 1-м тайме. Единственное чего не видел, так это вот этой "храбрости"!!!))))))))) .
