Mikel Arteta highlighted the attributes that contributed to an impressive win for Arsenal against Aston Villa and used it as evidence that some of his younger players are ready.
Arsenal produced one of their best performances of Arteta’s reign to beat Villa 3-1. Thomas Partey kicked things off with his first goal for the club before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Emile Smith Rowe also added goals prior to Jacob Ramsey’s consolation for the visitors.
The win extended Arsenal’s unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions and lifted them into the top half of the Premier League table.
Arteta, who was the Premier League’s manager of the month in September, seems to be steadying the ship after some tricky times.
