Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta gives breakdown of how his side secured 1-0 victory over Everton
Arsenal Mikel Arteta was delighted with how he felt his side were able to limit the impact of Everton’s support in his first win as an opposition manager at Goodison Park.
The 41-year-old added: “I’m really happy, extremely happy with the performance, the way we played. I was there for six years, I’ve not been able to do that.RATINGS: Everton player ratings as Jarrad Branthwaite good but two stars poor vs Arsenal “That was the outcome of what we tried to do and then the result takes care of itself but we found openings in many other ways and we were neat enough in the last pass and the last action and the last finish to do it. Credit to them, they defend the box really, really well but probably the game should have been very different if Gabriel Martinelli’s goal is allowed – it wasn’t – but I’m super happy today.
The game was expected to be a head-to-head between England international goalkeepers Jordan Pickford and Aaron Ramsdale but Arteta brought in David Raya for his debut between the sticks and insisted he might not stop at mere rotation between the pair but making changes in the position during games, a radical ploy he regrets not having done already.
