Former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke has warned Mikel Arteta over turning results around when times get tough in the impending run-in for Arsenal in the Premier League title race. The Gunners currently lead the rest of the Premier League, sitting five points clear of rivals Manchester City.
That lead was only maintained after a goal in the last minute of a five-goal thriller between the north London outfit and relegation contenders Bournemouth. Arteta's side went two-goals down, but fought back as Reiss Nelson's injury time volley earned all three points.
"The team and individuals today showed a different level of will to win and determination and initiative," the head coach said after the joyous scenes at the Emirates Stadium. "Because when the game gets ugly there is a moment when you can lose momentum and start to hide and navigate through the game. But the players didn’t do that. They wanted the game, they wanted the ball every time, they took risks, they took the initiative, they kept trying until we broke them down and it was great to see that from the team."
