JAKARTA - Arsenal managed to get up and win the top of the English Premier League standings after a 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Manager Mikel Arteta said Arsenal deserved to win over Manchester City.

Arsenal lost their position at the top after losing to Aston Villa 2-0. The poor result continued as the Gunners played their second quarter-final Champions League match against Bayern Munich.

After a 2-2 draw in the first match at the Emirates, Arsenal hopes to beat Bayern at home. But Martin Odegaard et al even 1-0 made Arsenal eliminated.

Failure in the Champions League may have an impact on domestic competitions. Moreover, Arsenal played an away match against Wolves at the Molineux Stadium, Sunday, April 21, 2024 in the morning WIB.

Arsenal were able to break the predictions and win the crucial match. The victory brought Arsenal back to the top with 74 points. A one-point lead with Man City who fell to second place but saved one game.

Arteta showed his satisfaction with the player's response. They still tried not to fall and managed to get up. The performance of the players remains good.

"Of course we are disappointed to lose against Bayern. But players showed a good response. I am proud of them. We showed a reaction in the right way," Arteta told the BBC.

"We deserved to win and return to maintain the clean sheet again," he said.

However, Arteta realized the competition remained tight because of the small margin of the top three teams. Man City and Liverpool are still trying to catch up on points as they have the opportunity to return to the top.

Meski demikian dirinya dengan ketempatan Arsenal memenangi titel liga. Arsena masih mampu bersaing dengan dua rivalnya dan berusaha memenangkan pertandingan yang tersisa. "Margin poin yang kecil saat kompetisi memisahi lima pertandingan lagi. Tetapi kami telah kembali ke puncak," kata Arteta.

"We are also consistent in defense. This is what is needed to win the game in the league. Now we will try to win the game," he said.

Arsenal will play a match not easy when they finish the competition. They still meet Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. The match against Manchester United at Old Trafford could not be taken lightly.
