Mikel Arteta hits back at Fabian Hurzeler over forceful criticism of Arsenal win
"What a surprise. You just go back to the previous games and you will find a lot of comments like this always. I love my players. That's the highlight. I love my players, we love our players. I love the way we compete."
"I think they love our players, every time they talk about our players. They are the most loved ones in the country."
"There was only team who tried to play football today. I ask one question - did you see in a Premier League game a goalkeeper going down three times? No. There are different kinds of winning. If they win the Premier League, no-one will ask how they win the Premier League."
Arsenal secured a victory over Brighton using deliberate time-wasting tactics, including goalkeeper David Raya going down multiple times and taking extended time on set-pieces. Brighton manager Hurzeler criticized Arsenal's approach, stating they did not attempt to play football and that he would never employ such methods. Arteta responded sarcastically, noting that his team receives constant scrutiny and defended his players' competitiveness. He expressed indifference to other managers' opinions, stating it depends on the manager and the purpose of their comments. Hurzeler reiterated that only Brighton attempted to play football and questioned the legitimacy of such winning tactics, though acknowledged that winning the Premier League would justify any method.
