When asked if his team celebrated Manchester City’s loss to Brentford, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta responded in a hilarious manner.
The Gunners were given a major boost in their title bid when Ivan Toney scored in the 97th minute to secure a surprise 1-2 win for the visitors.
Arsenal won 2-0 at Wolves to extend their lead at the top of the table to five points, and after the game, Mikel Arteta was asked if his team was looking ahead to City’s defeat.
He confirmed that the entire squad watched the game on their way to their late kick-off, and the Spaniard was then questioned about their reaction when Toney scored his second goal.
“As you can imagine,” Arteta said, laughing.
There was no time to celebrate, however, as an inspired Martin Odegaard scored twice to give his side a lead.
Arsenal has won 12 of its 14 games so far this season, losing only once to Manchester United.
They continue to benefit from Man City’s sloppy results, as they have now lost points to Brentford and Aston Villa.
