Never Seen This Energy Before, Arteta Hails Confident Arsenal

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has never seen the kind of energy he is seeing in his team presently he said after the boys defeated Liverpool 3-2 to reclaim first place in the English Premier League.

Martinelli scored in the first minute of the tense match, but Nunez equalized in the 34th.

Saka scored in the 50th minute but it took Firmino three minutes to even the score again.

Saka then dispatched a penalty kick to condemn Liverpool to another well-deserved defeat.

Arsenal have been pegged back by Liverpool, Tottenham and Aston Villa in their last three home games. Each time they’ve responded to win. Previously they had to come from behind against Fulham at the Emirates, while in their first game here this season, Leicester twice threatened to get back into the match and were twice put back in their place.

For all the brilliant attacking play of this Arsenal team, it is their resolve which stands out. Their opening-minute goal against Liverpool was stunning but their second on the stroke of half-time, after Liverpool had claimed control of the contest, was crucial. They didn’t allow Roberto Firmino’s goal early in the second half to derail the momentum they’d found.

Arteta talked up the spirit and atmosphere generated by the Arsenal supporters. “I’ve never seen it like this,” he said afterwards. “You can not imagine how much it helps the players.” There is certainly a different feeling around the ground this year.

There’s belief at Arsenal. Whatever the setback they have the confidence they’ll come back. It’s taken them to the top of the Premier League table – and could take them a long way this season.
