Arteta insists Arsenal still have title belief despite Man City setback
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said his team still have belief that they can win the Premier League, despite losing to title rivals Manchester City.
The North Londoners lost 2-1 at Manchester City at the Etihad, with goals from Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland condemned Arteta’s side to defeat.
The result continues a poor period for the Gunners, who have won once in six games across all competitions.
Arsenal’s recent form has allowed Manchester City to close the gap to three points, with a game in hand, and the Blues can move top of the table with a win at Burnley in midweek.
Despite that, Arteta said Arsenal are still confident of winning the Premier League this season.
Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, he said: “100%. I said to the boys we have to look in the mirror and the team we played in the moment, the history they have, to come back from a goal down. There’s a lot of things to take. The difference was in both boxes that’s for sure.”
“At the end it’s the result we came to conquer. We did a lot of things right to take the game where we wanted. We had the best chances in the game but we didn’t put them away and that’s the reality.”
