Sokratis Papastathopoulos says that Arsenal have found fresh confidence and expression in Mikel Arteta’s playing structure as he reflected on Wednesday night’s 2-0 win over
Manchester United at Emirates Stadium, which felt like a turning point for the club.
Arteta’s players were aggressive and decisive against United in the first-half, when they built up a 2-0 lead which they would defend after the interval, moving the ball with speed and menace within a well-balanced 4-2-3-1 system.
