Arsenal boss Mikel Areta says his team has to concentrate on what is in her hands after a “great day” in Manchester City.
The Gunners tore apart the Premier League master and scored four goals in the second half to avenge themselves for a fiery draw in the Etihad in the season.
Young Guns Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri called and sent the crowd in North London in frenzy.
And while Areta was clearly satisfied with the result, he admitted that Arsenal had to concentrate if they wanted to win the Premier League title.
He said, “It’s a great day. In view of the opposition we played, the result we achieved and in the way we did. It makes it a special day.
“Many things have to go their way.
“They are so good that they force you to be deeper and be in a situation that you don’t want to be. Sometimes you need a little luck and after that you have to be efficient. We had to be brave and it paid off.
“So is it possible?”

“Things have to go on their way and the line is so thin. I liked that the team showed a lot of personality and competitiveness.
“We still have to do the things we can control. Today was a difficult game for us and we did it. “
Captain Martin Odegaard achieved the start of the home team and was a constant threat to the Gunners in the middle of the field.
He was delighted with how his teammates pressed the game and ultimately controlled.
He added: “It was a top game and a top result. The atmosphere was incredible and we all enjoyed it.
“We were rewarded with the high press, we won the ball and scored. They scored the second half, but the way we reacted was brilliant. After that it was incredible what we did.
“There is a lot of pressure on this game, but we played a brilliant game. We know that we can beat every team, and today we showed it. “
