Arsenal Can Cope With Pressure Of ‘beautiful’ Title Challenge

Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal’s tense 3-2 win at bitter rivals Tottenham proved they can cope with the pressure of their “beautiful” challenge to win the Premier League.Arteta’s side stormed into a three-goal lead in the first half of Sunday’s north London derby before surviving Tottenham’s late fightback to retain their position on top of the table.

But Arteta is confident his team will make City sweat all the way to the finish line after they emerged unscathed from arguably their toughest remaining fixture.Asked if Arsenal, chasing a first title since 2004, had shown they were equipped to be champions, Arteta said: “I think so. 100 per cent. I have seen that every day since the start of the season.“Don’t get carried away with yourself. We want to be better. There are margins for improvement.

“3-0 up you are in control and dominating. Then something clicks in your brain, we made a mistake, they scored and it’s game on. Arteta singled out Havertz for praise after the often-criticised German played through illness to deliver an influential display, featuring a superb long pass that set up Saka’s goal prior to his own clinical header.
