Arsenal Football Club manager Mikel Arteta has described his team’s performance as “incredible” after a 3-0 win over Fulham.
A brace from Viktor Gyokeres and a goal by Bukayo Saka secured the victory, moving Arsenal six points clear of closest title rivals, Manchester City.
The Gunners have three matches left in the English Premier League season, though they have played two games more than City.
Speaking to the BBC after the win, ahead of Arsenal’s second-leg semi-final clash against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, May 5, Arteta said the team delivered one of their most complete performances of the season.
“I’m extremely happy today. It was a really tough match to play. I think the team played incredibly well today. We dominated and showed the hunger we discussed before the game.”
