Watford 2-3 Arsenal: Arteta says his side are getting better and better

I don't know if I should have done it but I couldn't help myself.

In their 3-2 win atWatford, Mikel Arteta had a unique role in their third goal, which took them into the top four.

Arteta ran out of his technical area as he realized Louza was going to throw the ball out of play.

He caught the ball and threw it to the other side of the net, and eight seconds later the ball was in the back of the net.

Gabriel Martinelli fired home after a one-touch move by the other three players.

As if he had scored the goal himself, Arteta pumped his fists in the air and turned around to be hugged by one of his coaches.

Mikel Arteta came well out of his technical area to give the ball to Bukayo Saka

The ball boy who handed the ball to Saka was Mikel Arteta, who left his technical area, according to the commentator.

You are not going to allow goals for that.

The fourth referee told Mikel that he shouldn't be allowed to do that.

It came out. I am living the game there, trying to help as much as possible, and I saw an advantage to be taken and I did it.

The first goal was scored by Saka and the second goal was scored by him.

'We have players our fans don't seem to take to'

Roy Hodgson, who has only won once since returning to management, had a frustrating day in the other technical area.

His fans booed him when he replaced Louza with Kayembe in the 64th minute.

Fans have their favorites, I suppose Kayembe plays in the same position as Louza.

I like Louza a lot but I thought he was tired. We may have been able to get back into the game because of Kayembe.

Louza is very good, so I understand why they criticize him coming off. I thought it was time to give Kayembe a try. We have one or two players the fans don't like, but they are the ones keeping our heads above water.
