Gunners’ a itude pleases Arteta

London – Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said it was important for the club to get back to winning ways after their Europa League exit and was particularly pleased with his players’ attitude in Sunday’s 3-1 Premier League victory over West Bromwich Albion.

Emile Smith Rowe, Nicolas Pepe and Willian scored against West Brom as Arsenal bounced back from Thursday’s Europa League semifinal exit which left them with the prospect of no European football for the first time in 25 years.

“After not going through to the final, it’s always very important to win the game,” said Arteta, whose side are ninth with three games left.

“It’s the best way to remedy the pain that we had, to win the game, to score three goals that we have done, and create so many more chances.”

Arsenal travel to thirdplaced Chelsea tomorrow and Arteta said his side had a duty to the fans to finish the season strong. –
