Mikel Arteta admits he has 'all the sympathy in the world' for Mauricio Pochettino after Arsenal pour more misery on Chelsea with 5-0 thrashing

The Gunners' triumph,<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-arsenal-cole-palmer-conor-gallagher/blt408d92e878f7d4b8" target="_blank"> fuelled by Leandro Trossard’s brilliant opening goal and doubles from both Ben White and former Chelsea striker Kai Havertz</a>, propelled them four points clear at the summit of the Premier League table, leaving Manchester City trailing but with two games in hand. It was a tough night for Pochettino as his Chelsea side capitulated in the second half and his Arsenal counterpart, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/father-to-me-arsenal-manager-mikel-arteta-reveals-special-relationship-with-chelsea-counterpart-mauricio-pochettino/blt2f50abd610a75e77" target="_blank">has been a dear friend</a> of his since their playing days at Paris Saint-Germain, had nothing but kind words for the Argentine manager.

WHAT HAPPENED?

When questioned about Pochettino's predicament, Arteta responded with unwavering support and said: "All the sympathy in the world. With everything that he’s been through and everything that he’s been doing. He knows that. I’ve been on the other side as well. He’s doing a great job, I think when you look at this team and analyse every second of them, they deserve to win many matches, they deserve to win against big teams."He’s doing a really good job so hopefully things will turn around and be as he deserves. I love winning. He would try to do the same. When you talk about sympathy and someone I love and admire, for sure, I want the best for him.”

WHAT ARTETA SAID

Amidst Arsenal's recent setbacks, including defeat to Aston Villa and elimination from the Champions League by Bayern Munich, Arteta found solace in his team's resilient response against their city rivals.“Just face the reality, that’s it. The margins are so small and in some things, you cannot be better than your opponent," he said.“You might not have the luck when you need it in certain moments but you need to react and face the moment. That moment is beautiful. We’ve been working on it for nine months, so we have to face it in the right way. Value what we have, and especially believe. If you are able to believe for nine months, you are able to win it. But you have to believe it first and consistently do what you have been doing. Nothing else.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chelsea were guilty were giving away possession cheaply as Arsenal snatched the ball 15 times in the final third against them - the maximum turnovers under Arteta in a Premier League match.

DID YOU KNOW?

After piling misery on one London rival, the Gunners will hope to do the same to Tottenham on Sunday afternoon. Arteta is already thinking about the next fixture as he wants to end their Premier League campaign on a perfect note by winning the four remaining matches.“It’s great for us obviously and for the confidence that we can come to these stages against big teams and perform and win games the way we’ve done it tonight," he said.“Enjoy it and then it’s back to work tomorrow because we have a big one on Sunday and we’re going to have to prepare really well to beat them.”Meanwhile, Chelsea face a tricky trip to Villa Park on Saturday evening to face Unai Emery's men.
