Arteta believes that these wins are a sign of his team's growing maturity and ability to perform under pressure. "The recent history wasn't in our favor, and we wanted to change that," he said. "This is another step towards having that mindset and that ability to win these kinds of matches against good opposition."

Arsenal's victory has moved them three points clear of Manchester City in the Premier League title race, with Liverpool four points behind. Arteta was pleased with his team's performance, particularly in the second half when they showed a lot of maturity and determination to win the game.

However, one area of concern for Arteta was the failure of Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres to find the net for a seventh consecutive game. Signed from Sporting Lisbon in the close season, Gyokeres has struggled to make an impact in the Premier League despite his prolific form for the Portuguese club.

"He was very close again today," Arteta said. "We were all begging for him to score. The work rate he puts in for the team is phenomenal. We try to give him support and the love, and it will come."
