Mikel Arteta ‘loved’ seeing Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko clash with each other at the end of Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.The Gunners celebrations were cut short when White and Zinchenko had to be separated after arguing over the goal they conceded.”I love it, they demand more from each other and they are not happy with the way they concede that and they are trying to resolve it,” the Arsenal boss said.Why was Ben White blaming Zinchenko. Saliba was equally at fault for that goal. pic.twitter.com/OJPWcSkjp3— randy🇬🇭🇺🇸 (@_randyAFC) January 31, 2024 “It was a bit heated, but that means it is not enough playing the way we played, the result has to be bigger.”That’s pushing each other and being not happy conceding and I have to encourage that and promote it in the right way and respectful way.”Sometimes after the game, it’s emotional and heated, but I love that the players are pushing each other and demanding excellence.”Jesus and Saka find way out of Forest for unconvincing GunnersArteta added that he’s really happy with the performance and the result. “We saw what happened last year and we wanted to put it right, we wanted to generate some momentum in the league and I thought we did that.”The performance was very good, we completely dominated the game. We had to be patient, but we always had an eye on the opponent, we didn’t allow them to run.”PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 22TuesdayNott.
