Mikel Arteta seemed in a good mood as Arsenal manager pretended to be hasty in his exit interview after the controversy surrounding his hasty exit last week. Arsenal

beat Chelsea 1-0 thanks to a first-half header from Mikel Merino to reduce the gap to 12 points behind Liverpool and

in his post-match interview, Arteta praised his team’s performance and said they deserved the win. He was then asked about Bukayo Saka’s chances of returning after the international break.

When asked, Arteta quickly backtracked and told reporters: หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล. “Yeah, there’s a good chance [he’ll be back].” Arteta

appeared to be less than pleased during his post-match interviews last week, on several occasions quickly cutting off journalist Patrick Davison’s questions to get his answers across.

It is now just one win in four games for an Arsenal team who are appear to be running on empty, particularly in an attacking sense.

Gabriel Martinelli did at least make his return as a second half substitute, but without Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka options are thin on the ground.

Arteta then attempted to walk away before Davison cut him off and asked: “I want to ask about the title race because it’s 15 points away now. Is that too far?” Arteta replied, “No thanks” and walked off.
