Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has issued a bold warning to Liverpool, declaring that his team will “not stop” in their pursuit of the Premier League title. The Gunners secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Leicester City on Saturday, cutting the gap to league leaders Liverpool to just four points after Arne Slot’s side dropped points against Everton.
With key attackers Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus sidelined, emergency striker Mikel Merino stepped up, delivering a decisive brace off the bench to secure Arsenal’s win at the King Power Stadium. Despite a sluggish first half, the Gunners displayed resilience and urgency after the break to claim all three points.
Speaking after the match, Arteta emphasized his team’s determination:
“Big win, today was a day with all the questions being raised with injuries to make a statement. That we are here, we really want it.”
The Arsenal manager acknowledged the challenges ahead but made it clear that his squad is fully committed to the title race:
“Regardless of what happens or the difficulties we’re going to face, we’re going to give this a real go. The team wants it, we’ve had seven or eight months working on that. We’re not going to stop—let’s see how far we can go!”
With the season reaching its decisive phase, Arsenal’s persistence is set to keep the pressure on Liverpool, ensuring an intense battle for the Premier League crown.
