Mikel Arteta shares what he noticed inside Arsenal dressing room right after Man City draw
Arsenal and Manchester City had to settle for a goalless draw after an incredible tactical battle between Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola on Sunday.
City went into the game as the favourites, but Arsenal had been in great form since the turn of the year. They had♛ won eight games on the bounce in the Premier League before the clash at🐟 the Etihad yesterday.
However, it was a chess game between the two꧋ managers, and although many neutrals found it incredibly boring, we must say it was a fantastic tactical battle.
Arsenal are now second in the Premier League table, while Mancheste💃r City are a point and 💃a place below them.

Mikel Arteta shares what he sensed inside Arsenal’s dressing room
Arsenal have come such a long way from where they were a couple of seas𝓰ons ago.
Manchester City dominating possession at the Etihad is nothꦐing new, and the champions almost always batter their opponents at home.
However, Arsenal’s defending was absolutely magnificent, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes impressing from the first minute until the last.
The Frenchman was named as the Man of 🌜the Match for his incredible performance, ꦅbut some of his comments after the game caught our eye.
“We are not satisfied 100 per cent,🤪” Saliba said in hi✃s post-match interview.
Mikel Arteta was asked about the defender’s comments, and the Arsenal boss revealed that h𝔉e felt the same from everyone inside the dressing room. He thinks that is unbelievable.
The Spa𝓡niard told Arsenal’s media team: “That’s the same. That’s the feeling I get in the dressing room. That’s unbelievable!
“We have prevented this team for the first time in three years to score a goal at home, that tells you the difficulty of it.🐎
“But they want more. Individually we could’ℱve done more, as a team we could’ve done more. That’s good 💝to see.”

William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhes’ stats vs Man City will blow you away
Every Arsenal player on the pitch deserves a lot of praise for their display yesterday, but two names stand out – William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.
The two centre-backs were absolutely outstanding, and they dealt with Erling Haaland, who is the bes✱t striker in the world, without too much trouble.
This was the case at the Emirates as well back in October, and the two d𒈔efenders’ stats against Mancheജster City in both games this season are just incredible.
Along with keeping clean sheets home and away🦩 against Manchester City, Saliba and Gabriel retained possession 20 times and won 16 duels in total. They also made 11 clearances, seven tackles and four interceptions agai🤡nst the champions, which is simply outstanding.
A draw is never enough for a big club, but Arsenal fans should be pleasꩲed with their side’s performance yesterday.
