Mikel Arteta is looking forward to a ‘wonderful’ last day after Arsenal’s victory over Manchester United.

Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, is filled with hope and anticipation as he envisions the moment when his team lifts the Premier League trophy. This dream became more tangible after Arsenal secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, setting up a thrilling title race finale.

The only goal of the game was scored by Leandro Trossard in the 21st minute, capitalizing on a defensive error by Casemiro. This defeat marked Manchester United’s ninth loss at home this season, equaling a record. With this result, Arsenal moved one point ahead of Manchester City in the standings, although they will still need Guardiola’s side to stumble in one of their remaining two matches in order to clinch their first Premier League title in twenty years.

Regardless of the outcome, Arteta is pleased with the progress his team has made compared to last season, where they squandered an eight-point lead and lost the title to City. Speaking to Sky Sports, Arteta expressed his desire for the final game of the season to be a memorable one for the fans and families in attendance, stating, “It’s football. There are always possibilities.”

Interestingly, City’s game in hand is against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night. Kai Havertz, who played a crucial role in Arsenal’s victory, admitted that he will be the biggest fan of Tottenham for one day. Arteta, too, will be supporting Arsenal’s fierce rivals in the hopes that they can help his team’s title aspirations.

On the final day of the season, Arsenal will face Everton at home, while City will host West Ham. This decisive day will determine the outcome of one of the closest title battles in recent memory.

The victory over Manchester United showcased Arsenal’s ability to grind out results even when they are not at their best. The match itself was less explosive than expected, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances. However, the three points were all that mattered, especially considering Arsenal’s historically poor record at Old Trafford.

Arteta acknowledged the difficulty of playing at Old Trafford, stating, “We know the difficulty of it and that’s why we have only won twice in 20 years here.” Despite the victory, Arteta highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in terms of their ball progression and threat creation. However, he commended his team’s defensive performance, emphasizing that they did not concede much.

In conclusion, Arteta expressed his happiness with the win and credited his players for their resilience in a high-stakes match. He acknowledged that there is still room for improvement, but praised the team for taking another step forward. The title race is now set for a thrilling climax, and Arsenal fans will be eagerly awaiting the final day of the season, hoping to witness their team lift the Premier League trophy.
