Arsenal Defeats Crystal Palace 1-0 To Extend Their Lead At The Top Of The Premier League To Four Points.
After the match, Mikel Arterta reflected on the victory:“I just told the boys that I probably value this victory more than any other victory this season, because we knew the difficulty of it after playing every three days.
“We had a big opportunity as well with the things that happened during this weekend and I knew we played against a team that, in my opinion, has been one of the best recently in terms of organisation, how difficult they make it, how frustrated they can make you, and the moment that you lose that concentration, they will punish you.
“We have managed to be very stable, playing the game that we have to play. In the first half we were a bit stuck, but we found a way to score a goal and in the second half we attacked better and were more fluent. But with 1-0, we knew that we had to suffer because a team has to score goals to beat any other opponent this season, so to keep the clean sheet is very important.” He pointed out
Arsenal’s next Premier League match is against Burnley.
