Mikel Arteta confessed it was strange seeing Arsene Wenger back at Emirates Stadium after the Arsenal legend made his long-awaited return to the club.
Wenger, 73, was in attendance for the Gunners' stirring victory over West Ham on Boxing Day, during which they recovered from falling behind to win 3-1. It marked the first time the iconic Frenchman had been to the Emirates since he stepped down as Arsenal manager at the end of the 2017/18 season, following 22 years in charge.
Fans gradually began to turn on Wenger towards the end of his tenure due to the club's lack of Premier League success since the 2003/04 campaign. Nonetheless, he remains a legendary figure in the Premier League annals and received a warm reception from supporters who spotted him at the Emirates.
