Post-match press conference with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after their 2-0 win over Brentford at Emirates Stadium in the Premier League.<br /><br />Mikel Merino opened the scoring with an early header from Ben White’s cross, before supplying the assist for substitute Bukayo Saka’s stoppage time second as Arsenal went five points clear at the top. <br /><br />Brentford threatened mainly from set pieces, with David Raya tipping a Kevin Schade header onto the crossbar in their best chance of the night. <br /><br />Arteta discusses a first clean sheet in four league games, fresh injury concerns for Declan Rice after a calf issue and Cristhian Mosquera after a knee or ankle problem, with Gabriel and William Saliba already sidelined in defence. <br /><br /> He praises Merino’s “immense” display as a makeshift striker, the impact of Ben White, Martin Ødegaard and Noni Madueke on their return to the side, and the supporters’ energy under a brutal schedule, insisting “players are not machines” and calling again for more recovery time between fixtures. <br /><br />📺 Please subscribe, like the video and share wherever you can! <br /><br />⚠️ DO NOT copy and re-upload any part of this video anywhere otherwise copyright strikes will be made!
