Owen Doyle: Two thundering matches have saved this year’s Six Nations, but not all of the calls were spot on“It’s great to be top, that’s for sure. It was an amazing game of football – two magnificent teams with so many alternatives,” said Arteta. “I think it’s an amazing situation that we are leading both looking at the level that those two teams have, that we are still there, and we are still at the top. So the ambition raises – we want to continue to be there and we have to go game by game.

“We’re certainly going to have to tweak a few things to generate much more than we did. It’s the level of the Champions League. We have to make it happen. We’re going to have to be very good to achieve that. Every week, every opponent has their strengths and weaknesses and the way they play the game.
