Mikel Arteta believes that Arsenal made mistakes leading to the goals conceded against Man City, but he remains confident that the Gunners have the ability to win the Premier League title this year.
“To beat them we had to be over our level because they are such a good team with the quality they have. But I think we matched them and had them in big moments. But in these moments especially in the box they were better than us", Mikel Arteta made a statement after the 1-3 loss to Man City in the Premier League match.
“With the performance and the level of the team, we felt we could beat them. We had them until the second goal.
“But we gave them three goals and the game at the end. There are certain mistakes you shouldn’t make at this level. At the same time, the team has set the level very high.
“The difference was in the boxes, they had three chances and they took them. We had chances and we didn’t take them.” Arteta further commented on the mistakes that led to his team's loss. However, the Spanish coach remains confident that the Gunners are fully capable of competing for the Premier League title based on what they have shown against the current champions.
"I have more confidence [to win the league] because I see a team playing against them. You have to go to the next one and in three days we have another game. I have more confidence in my players.”
