Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta received praise from Pep Guardiola after Arsenal's 1-0 win over Manchester City. Guardiola acknowledged that Arteta, who was his assistant at City, has been successful at Arsenal and that he learned a lot from him as well. This victory was significant for Arteta as it was his first league win over Guardiola and City after seven losses. The win was achieved despite City missing key players like Stones, Rodri, and De Bruyne. The result has reinvigorated Arsenal's confidence and reminded City that they are in a race. Guardiola also mentioned that City had shown interest in Declan Rice, but Arsenal was more convincing in their pursuit of the player.
That is a monumental victory for Arsenal. With no Stones, Rodri or De Bruyne in the City XI it was psychologically huge to win. Arteta now has a league win over Pep. This team have reminded them that they’re in a race again. Perhaps against a more streetwise Arsenal.
