Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hailed his team's statement 2-1 victory over Chelsea, asserting the performance demonstrated their potential to exceed last season's title-winning standards. Goals from Kai Havertz and captain Martin Odegaard, following Morgan Rogers' early score, secured Arsenal's third win from three games. Arteta praised the team's reaction in the tough first half, calling it "exceptional" and praising the "conviction, determination, and quality" that he plans to maintain.
The manager noted that the win indicates Arsenal's ability to perform at an even higher level than last season, dependent on sustaining their desire. Despite a relatively quiet transfer window, Arsenal remains a strong threat with Havertz, Odegaard, and Bukayo Saka shining. Odegaard, who missed significant time last season due to injuries, showed promise under Arteta's guidance.
Both Arsenal and Manchester City boast perfect records in the Premier League, while Chelsea, under new manager Xabi Alonso, suffered their first loss of the season, conceding seven goals in three games. Alonso remains optimistic about securing clean sheets and emphasized the team's commitment to hard work and composure in upcoming matches.
