How Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is helping Eddie Jones and England Rugby

Mikel Arteta is still only in the infancy on his managerial career, but the Arsenal boss is already being leaned on for advice. However, the 40-year-old hasn't been passing on his wisdom to other football managers.

Instead, he's been swapping notes with and helping England Rugby coach Eddie Jones. Arteta's Premier League table-toppers have been incredibly impressive so far this season, racking up nine wins from their first 10 games, but there's one thing in particular about Arsenal's game that Jones has admired.

Fast starts have been a feature of the Gunners' start to the campaign. They have scored first and scored in the first half in 80% of their games so far this season. Arsenal's explosive starts to games under Arteta is one of the main reasons as to why they currently lead the way by four points at the top of the table.
