Mikel Arteta has revealed that Arsene Wenger’s return to Arsenal for the Boxing Day victory over West Ham was kept secret from his players, but believes their performance did justice to the legendary boss’ legacy.
The Frenchman was in the stands for the first time since leaving the club in 2018 as goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah sent the Gunners seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 3-1 victory.
