Jamie Carragher explains what Mikel Arteta has achieved that Arsene Wenger failed to do

Jamie Carragher believes that Mikel Arteta deserves credit for generating an incredible atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium - a feat that other Arsenal managers failed to achieve.

Arteta has endured some difficult times since replacing Unai Emery at the helm back in December 2019. He was even believed to be under pressure just months ago, with some disgruntled fans believing that the Spaniard should pay the ultimate price after the club's late collapse last season cost them a Champions League place.

But Arsenal kept faith with Arteta's process - and they have been rewarded handsomely. The Gunners have flown out of the blocks this season to set the pace at the summit of the Premier League. Sunday's statement victory over Liverpool means the Gunners have taken 24 points from a possible 27 after dropping points just once so far this term.
