Arteta raises the bar after derby comeback

Arteta: we can go higher

Mikel Arteta watched the 2–1 comeback win over Chelsea and immediately raised the bar. "I think it's an indication for us of how capable we are to perform at an even higher level than last season" (12). You are defending champions. That is what he is chasing again.

The derby win

Arsenal 2–1 Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday. Morgan Rogers put Chelsea ahead after 77 seconds (10), but your team turned it around. That is three straight wins, top of the table with full points alongside Manchester City (16).

Napoli on Wednesday

The Champions League opener is in Naples on Wednesday, September 9, at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (7). UEFA have flagged the match as high risk (6). Napoli lost their opening league games to Como and Inter, so they need a response (7).

Odegaard ran the derby

Wayne Rooney broke down how Martin Odegaard took control against Chelsea (15). The skipper dictated the game as your team fought back.

Fan-reaktioner

Fans are loving this one. The mood is champions swagger, with Odegaard's record against Chelsea getting its flowers and Ezri Konsa getting a "ROCK SOLID EZRI" salute. Leo Trossard was spotted in the stands, which hit the fanbase right in the feels. Join the celebration.
