Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that the whistle had barely blown on a dramatic finale to our Premier League encounter with Manchester United when Mikel Arteta faced the media in the post-match press conference. Arsenal snatched a difficult victory and scored 3 precious points. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta labeled Declan Rice's display against Manchester United "tremendous" as the Gunners came from behind to beat the Red Devils 3-1 in an Emirates thriller. The manager spoke about his pride in the performance, and what Declan Rice has brought to the club, gave an update on Thomas Partey’s fitness, and looked ahead to the international break. After the meeting, Arteta said: “Great. We all worked so hard and planned everything to live moments like this. Those moments are going to stick with us. To see the crowd so connected with the team again and celebrate in a big match like today with the history of this clash is something great, so very happy.” About Havertz's poor level, he commented: "When I first met my wife, it was difficult and I had to try to decide that we wanted to be together. The fans were great with him." And he continued: “I told Havertz yesterday that the beginnings may be difficult. I told him that I suffered to bring my wife to the road. I had to bring gifts and letters and try to bring her and more and more, but the end was happy.” With 10 points from their opening four matches, Arsenal lie fifth in the table heading into the international break and are next in action away to Everton on September 17, three days before their Champions League opener against PSV Eindhoven.
