Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed his disappointment over conceding a set piece in their 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday. Despite the victory being their sixth consecutive win in the league, Arteta was not satisfied with the way they conceded the goal.
The Gunners are currently leading the Premier League table with 69 points after 28 games, closely followed by second-placed Manchester City with 61 points and a game in hand. Arsenal’s recent form has put them in a title race, and Arteta is determined to keep his team focused on their goals.
Speaking to Metro UK after the game, Arteta said, “I’m really pleased with the performance, the energy, the determination that we showed again, the way we controlled the game.” He also praised his team for their reaction after playing 120 minutes in midweek.
However, he was disappointed with conceding a goal on a set play and admitted that they could have done better in the second half when they were dominant. “We could have been more respectful with the simple things but it’s normal,” he added.

Despite their impressive form, Arsenal cannot afford to be complacent as they enter the final stretch of the season. The international break provides an opportunity for players to rest and recuperate before returning to action.
Arsenal fans will be hoping that Arteta can lead them to their first Premier League title since 2004. The Spanish manager has already made a significant impact since taking charge of Arsenal in 2019 and has transformed them into one of the most exciting teams in English football.
As Arsenal continue their pursuit of glory this season, Arteta’s attention to detail and tactical acumen will be crucial. The Gunners’ fans will be hoping that he can guide them to success both domestically and in Europe in years to come.
