Arteta: ‘We are one game away from winning the Premier League, with everything that we’ve been through’ | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta hailed the mindset of his Arsenal players after moving even closer to a first Premier League title for the club since 2004.

Kai Havertz’ first-half header handed Arsenal a 1-0 win over Burnley, meaning they are just one win away from securing the title.

It could come even sooner than the final day, should rivals Manchester City fail to win against Bournemouth on Tuesday.

Asked if he will be a Bournemouth fan on Tuesday, the Arsenal boss replied: “The biggest ever.

“Of Andoni (Iraola) and all the players and all the people that are supporters of Bournemouth.

“I think we all are because we know what that means if tomorrow they get a result for us.”

Arteta opted to start Havertz up top against Burnley over Viktor Gyokeres, and says the German’s impact demonstrated how much they have missed not just him, but other players who have been injured this season.

“I think we forget the amount of players that we have missed for a long, long period this season that are exceptional,” he said.

“That’s the merit I think of this team, that regardless of that, look where we are. We are one game away from winning the Premier League with everything that we’ve been through and that shows how strong the mindset and the team is.

“I had a feeling that he had to start and in the way that they set up I think he could be really difficult to handle and he’s shown that.”
