Arsenal’s convincing win over Manchester United at Emirates Stadium was another sign of the increasing maturity from Mikel Arteta’s side. The Gunners had lost three consecutive games in the Premier League to Brighton, Crystal Palace and Southampton, but bounced back on Wednesday night with an impressive win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
There was a collective feeling amongst those inside the stadium that United were there for the taking following a dismal season which has seen interim manager Ralph Rangnick claim that the team need “open heart surgery” this summer.
Arteta has built a team with the youngest average age in the league and continues to surpass expectations, although it should also be reminded that the Gunners spent £150million on six new signings last summer - more than any other team in Europe.
