Classy Mikel Arteta has been contrasted with Jose Mourinho after Arsenal ended FK Bodo/Glimt’s long-winning home run in Europe.
The Norwegian champions had won their previous 14 matches at their Aspmyra Stadion before the Gunners won 1-0. That run included two wins over Mourinho’s Roma last season - including a 6-1 win in the Europa Conference League group stage.
And after victory over the Italians in the quarter-finals, there was a post-match altercation between the benches before the former Chelsea and Manchester United blamed the “plastic turf” for a knee injury to defender Gianluca Mancini. But after Arsenal’s win, Arteta was full of praise for the Norwegians.
