Arteta Rages At Media After Arsenal Win Over Chelsea

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta hit out at the media after his side defeated Chelsea 1-0 on Wednesday.

Emile Smith Rowe scored early in the match at Stamford Bridge after a Jorginho error, and the goal stood up as the Gunners defended resiliently through the second half.

After the match, though, Arteta felt compelled to lash out at what he felt was an unfair interpretation of pre-match comments in which he appeared to suggest some Arsenal players weren’t giving their all.

“Nothing is broken inside,” Arteta said to Sky Sports. “I don’t know how they want to try from the outside. They try to put things on me that I never said.

“You can see the spirit of the team from the first minute. You can never doubt the efforts.

“I said if I don’t get 120 per cent.
