Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta made a self-criticism and did not hesitate to admit that he was wrong in not giving extra minutes to Eddie Nketiah, the 22-year-old English striker who, on his two goals, was a key player on Wednesday in the ‘gunners’ golden victory in the London league derby against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (2-4).
Three points re -launch Arsenal’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League as they allowed them to reach Tottenham in fourth place with just 5 games left for both teams.
“If there’s a player that I think I’ve been unfair to, I think he’s that,” Arteta admitted after the game. “Now he showed me again how wrong I was.”
Your renewal, on the air
Nketiah, who was certainly thrown out by Chelsea when he was in their quarry, scored Arsenal’s first and third goals, a great performance that came at an important moment for his future as his contract expires on June 30 and his renewal is delayed due to the lack of minutes that Arteta gives him. In fact, the English striker is a regular substitute and most of his appearances in the Premier are off the bench.
Saka took his first penalty since the Euro final
For his part, Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the fact that another young attacker, Bukayo Saka, received his first penalty since he missed in July in the Euro 2020 final and ended up in England’s title against Italy. An error after which he received threats and racist insults through social networks.
“It’s the courage for him to say that I’ll throw it away again, because I’m sure it’s in the back of his mind, for me it’s ‘chapeau’, even if he fails”, Arteta assured. With his penalty goal in injury time, Saka established the final 2-4 in the derby against Chelsea.
