Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has said Arsenal played like league winners in their 1-0 win over Tottenham on Sunday.
The Gunners, struggling with injuries to key players, left the home of their fierce rivals with all three points.
Mikel Arteta’s men soaked up the pressure, before snatching victory thanks to Gabriel’s header in the 64th minute.
Neville has now said it was the perfect preparation for this weekend’s top-of-the-table at Manchester City.
“They had no Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice – two of their very, very best players – but what they did have going into that game was a very good back four and a very defensive shape and unit. Tottenham never broke that,” Neville said.
“That was a team and performance of know-how. Wily, not naive, not immature – it was the opposite of that. It was experienced, mature and it was what a team who has won multiple titles would play like.
“Mikel Arteta hasn’t won a title yet at Arsenal but it was a really good performance.”
