Mikel Arteta has said Arsenal are still in the Premier League title race after a hard fought 2-0 win against Newcastle United on Sunday, the Mirror reports.
Martin Odegaard’s first-half strike and Fabian Schar’s own goal were enough for the Gunners to claim all three points.
The result leaves Arsenal second on the log, one point behind leaders Manchester City having played a game more
City remain favourites for the title after winning 10 consecutive Premier League games.
However, Arteta remains confident his team can win the Premier League title this season.
“We are there. We want to keep digging. We know that the prize is there and not too far.
“The only thing we can do is keep insisting and don’t turn our backs and lose the focus, or something else. Be determined every day. Let’s keep going and see what happens.
“It proves we have done it today, and now do it against Brighton [in Arsenal’s next game on Sunday]. Really demanding. We have to be at our best to beat them again. We have done it for ten months, we have to keep doing it. And we are there.
“It feels very different from ten days ago and we have to make sure the momentum is there. Today was the best performance. We have won in difficult ground consistently in different ways. This game demanded something different. We did what the game demanded.”
