Arsenal are determined to continue their momentum after their 7-1 win against PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 encounter, manager Mikel Arteta said. Arsenal’s largest away win in European club competition on Tuesday put them in a nearly unbeatable position to proceed to the quarterfinals either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid.
The North London side, who had not scored in their last two league meetings, came in Eindhoven 13 points behind Liverpool and fighting for the Premier League crown. Enjoy tonight because we deserve that for our outstanding performance and unbelievable score. Now take that and keep progressing as a team.
Arteta also backed 17-year-old winger Ethan Nwaneri to keep playing well after he scored Arsenal’s second goal.
“I doubt he needs pushing! Every time he has the ball, you see his intention, so if he comes, he comes, and it’s great and really impressive how he behaved and played tonight “Arteta added.
On Sunday, Arsenal travel to 14th-placed Manchester United in the Premier League.
