It was almost poetic justice that the Arsenal dark arts on display in yesterday’s 3-2 win came against the side that Troy Deeney once played for.
The former Hornet famously described Arsenal as a team lacking ‘cojones’ but there is nothing but edge to what Mikel Arteta has instilled in his side. The Gunners moved up to fourth in the table after recording four wins back-to-back in the league for the second time this season.
The Arsenal sides of old admittedly did lack the street smarts of the game and with the number of poor officiating decisions surrounding the club this season, the Gunners have needed to take more control over their own progression.
