Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta described the victory over Crystal Palace as the toughest match of the season so far. His team faced a very determined opponent at the Emirates Stadium but ultimately managed to confirm its form and extend its winning run.
The only goal of the match came from Eberechi Eze, who scored in the 39th minute after a fine move. Despite losing William Saliba and Declan Rice to injury, Arsenal showed great discipline and resilience, earning a seventh consecutive win across all competitions.
After the match, Arteta praised his players for their maturity and ability to handle difficult moments. He considered it an important step forward, as the team succeeded against an opponent that had caused problems in the previous season.
The Spanish coach emphasized that patience and concentration were the keys to success, since Palace is strong in counterattacks and set pieces. Arsenal remained composed and managed to keep a clean sheet.
With this victory, Arsenal stays at the top of the Premier League with 22 points from nine matches. The team has conceded only three goals, confirming its solid defense and consistent performances. Arteta hopes that the injuries to key players are not serious, as the Gunners face a demanding schedule in both domestic and European competitions.
