Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has praised his team’s defensive strength while naming Chelsea as the best attacking side in the Premier League.
The Spaniard made the remarks after Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday, secured by Mikel Merino’s first-half goal at the Emirates Stadium.
The win leaves Arsenal 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool after 29 matches.
Speaking after the game, Arteta said: “In defending, we are one of the best teams in the world today. We were unbelievable.”
He added: “Big credit, because in my opinion, Chelsea are the best attacking team in the league.”
Arsenal’s next fixture is against Fulham on 1 April.
