Mikel Arteta urges Arsenal to rise to unique Premier League challenge after unfamiliar setback

Mikel Arteta insists his Arsenal side can only concentrate on themselves after ceding the advantage in the hunt for the Premier League trophy.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Arteta said: “We cannot control that. What we can control is when you have the run that we had and you win, and you win, and you win, and you win, and you win, and you win, and you draw, and you win, win, win, win, win, it’s easier to stand up and stand here and easy to be around with the flow.“The moment is now. After this blow, how we react…we have the best opportunity to react on Wednesday against Bayern Munich.

“With the amount of games that we have won in a row, in any other league in the world you are six or eight points clear. That is not the case now and this is the challenge.”Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta felt his side did not make the most of their opportunities before the break against Aston Villa – and wanted at least a point.Arsenal have not been made to look so ordinary for so long all season. Aston Villa were absolutely sensational and Manchester City have their advantage.
