Arsenal star has issued a strong warning to Tottenham following Arsenal’s impressive victory over Sheffield United. Mikel Arteta made a surprising double change by starting Emile Smith Rowe and Jakub Kiwior instead of Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Magalhaes, and it paid off as the Gunners won 5-0.
Eddie Nketiah stole the show with a fantastic hat-trick in the 58th minute, while Fabio Vieira and Takehiro Tomiyasu also scored late goals to seal a brilliant team performance. Arteta praised the team’s mentality and determination, highlighting their respect for every game and every ball in their journey throughout the match.
Before Arsenal’s triumph, Tottenham had extended their lead at the top with a win against Crystal Palace. Manchester City and Liverpool also kept up the pace with 3-0 victories over Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, respectively.
Saka, who captained Arsenal in the absence of Odegaard, expressed his pride and happiness at the team’s five-star display. He believes there is another level for them to reach and that they are getting closer to it. With a tough Carabao Cup clash against West Ham coming up, Saka may be rested due to his recent injury issues, but Arteta remained secretive about potential team changes.
As they prepare for their next game against Newcastle, Arsenal’s focus remains on beating West Ham and progressing through the competition to potentially win a trophy.
