Arteta hugged goalkeeper Raya after the thrilling win over Tottenham, whose mistake had put the Gunners' victory in jeopardy, but after taking all three points, Arteta also reached a milestone moment!
On 22 December 2019, Mikel Arteta officially took over the reins of Arsenal. After drawing with Bournemouth and losing to Chelsea, Mikel Arteta enjoyed his first managerial win on 1 January 2020 as Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-0.
In 238 games in charge of Arsenal, Arteta has won 137, drawn 34 and lost 57, averaging 1.95 points per game. In the Premier League, Mikel Arteta has won 100 games in 169 games, making him the fifth-fewest manager in Premier League history to reach this milestone, 10 fewer than Arsene Wenger.
In this ranking, Pep Guardiola tops the table with 134 games, followed by Jose Mourinho (142 games), Jurgen Klopp (159 games), Ferguson (162 games), Wenger and Benitez 179 games and 181 games respectively.
However, it will not be easy to win 100 Premier League games. With a 3-0 lead, Raya and Rice made mistakes one after another, allowing Tottenham to chase two goals in a row. Arteta also said: 'I do have a lot of confidence in my players, but in the last minutes I was a little bit skeptical. ”
After leading the lead for a long time last season but being overtaken by Manchester City, Arsenal have made a comeback this season. Arsenal are one step closer to the finish line after the win over Tottenham and Arteta said: 'We have to prepare well for Bournemouth, it's going to be a very tough game again and we have to give it our all. ”
Arteta's goal is simple: to win the last three Premier League games and then wait for City to drop points. After losing the title last season, will Mikel Arteta and Arsenal be able to make amends this season?
