“Yeah, in open play, yes,” said Arteta after Arsenal’s 1-0 win. “By a mile, I mean the stats say it and everything that I've seen, say it.
“They can open you up, they can run in transition, they have individual quality, any player in the defensive line can throw you in behind, they can combine on both sides, on weak sides and they are missing some big players as well at the moment.”
What next for Arsenal?
Arsenal head into the international break 12 points behind Liverpool with nine games remaining.
The Gunners next play Fulham on April 1 after the international break.
