'I can't control it' - Mikel Arteta hits out at attempts to 'damage' Pep Guardiola friendship as furore continues after feisty clash between Man City and Arsenal

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

Tottenham

<p>After the blockbuster Premier League clash between Arsenal and City last Sunday, personnel from both teams got involved in a war of words. John Stones was the first one to launch an attack as he claimed Arsenal <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/john-stones-man-city-takes-swipe-arsenal-dirty-tactics-hero-scintillating-title-race-draw/blt9d8d330b2f9e72fa" target="_blank">used 'dark arts'</a> as he slammed them for 'parking the bus' in the second half.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Arteta in turn, issued a warning towards the reigning champions as he claimed that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-mikel-arteta-fires-warning-man-city-dark-arts-accusations-inside-information-former-club/bltdc434f0462907ed9" target="_blank">he has all the information</a> about his former club, where he spent three and a half seasons as assistant coach to Guardiola. Earlier on Saturday, Guardiola hit back at the Gunners boss as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pep-guardiola-mikel-arteta-arsenal-2-2-draw-man-city/blt58701b41933b3048#csfc5822396e01c9b8" target="_blank">urged his former assistant to clarify</a> his inside 'information' comment.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Now explaining his earlier statement, Arteta once again issued a fiery response as he told reporters: "OK, I can repeat it. I love Pep. I’ve admired him since I was 10 years old. I respect him profoundly. I’m so grateful for everything he does and see him as a friend. When I say I know them it means I know how hard they work.</p><p>"The reason they are there is because they maintain that hunger. I cannot be any more clear than that. If someone wants to damage that relationship I cannot control it. For me sport is about that will to win. They have it even though, they’ve won more than everybody else. Hopefully, that’s clear."</p>

WHAT MIKEL ARTETA SAID

<p>With City dropping points against Newcastle on Saturday, the north London outfit equalled them on points <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-leicester-city-scenes-emirates-leandro-trossard-hero/bltd96c259cab598fd2" target="_blank">with a 4-2 win over Leicester at Emirates Stadium</a>. They will next face Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday in the Champions League.</p>
