Despite Arsenal’s 3-1 loss to Manchester City, manager Mikel Arteta believes his team can win the Premier League.
As a result of Wednesday night’s loss at Emirates Stadium, Manchester City has surpassed Arsenal in goal differential.

After defeating Manchester United on January 22, Arsenal has a game in hand and a five-point lead. However, they have only earned one point out of a possible nine since then.

During the game, Kevin de Bruyne scored the game’s first goal after capitalizing on Takehiro Tomiyasu’s backpass. However, after de Bruyne was replaced in the second half, fans threw bottles at him.

After Ederson fouled Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka was awarded a penalty kick, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland scored to give City three crucial points.

“I have more belief than I had before the game,” Mikel Arteta said after the 3-1 loss to a former manager, Pep Guardiola. We had the feeling we could beat them based on our performance and team level. We had them until the second goal.

“However, we gave them three goals and the game at the end. Certain mistakes are not permissible at this level. At the same time, the team raised the bar significantly.

“The difference was in the boxes, they had three chances and they put them away. We had chances, but we didn’t take them.”

Despite being “disappointed” by the loss, the Spanish manager said of City: “They [City] are the best team in the world, and we matched that level.” After that, beating them is simply a matter of doing things better.
