Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said he was happy with the 2-1 win over Wolves Saturday to go four points clear on the Premier League table.
Though Arteta acknowledged that his side should have a bigger scoreline, the team played well and have to produce more of such as the EPL contest gets tougher.
“Football is not perfect, but I’m really happy with the way we played,” Arteta told the BBC.
“It should have been a much bigger scoreline. We made a mistake and they took the chance, and it’s game on in the Premier League.”
Bukayo Saka opened the scoring and Arsenal doubled their lead when Oleksandr Zinchenko cut the ball back for Martin Odegaard, who picked out the bottom corner.
The home side came agonisingly close to a third goal when Gabriel Martinelli cannoned a shot off the post towards the end of the first half.
But they failed to put the game to bed and were made to sweat when Wolves forward Matheus Cunha found the top corner in the 86th minute to set up a tense finale.
Despite the scare, Arsenal, last year’s runners-up, held on to win 2-1 and notch their 10th win in 14 league games, which moves them four points clear of champions Manchester City, who host Tottenham on Sunday.
