Arteta reacts after hard-fought win
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted the game against Leicester City was a tough one despite the victory at King Power on Saturday.
He said in the post-match presser:
"A very tough match – the first half, especially the first 20-25 minutes, we struggled to get certain momentum because we did a lot of simple things very wrong, giving a lot of balls away and they were really threatening and generating enough momentum and sequences in the opposition box. But, in the second half, it was very different.
"We had much more urgency, better intentions, better executions and then you can sense that the game was going in the direction that it had to go."
