Jose Mourinho has 'more than influenced' Mikel Arteta as Arsenal boss addresses claims his team used 'dark arts' in draw with Man City

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

Tottenham

<p>Leandro Trossad was given the marching orders after he picked up his second yellow <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/rvp-away-to-barcelona-vibes-arsenal-fans-corruption-leandro-trossard-sent-off-man-city-jeremy-doku/bltbe8a93e0531b7353#cscd7ee38decfd5419">for kicking the ball away</a> - an almost identical offence that led to Declan Rice's dismissal against Brighton earlier this month. This forced Arteta to take a leaf out of Mourinho's coaching manual and park the bus in front of David Raya between the sticks, in an attempt to defend the lead in the second half against a marauding City side.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Arteta almost pulled off the stunt on rival territory but for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erling-haaland-man-city-hitman-retrospective-punishment-launching-ball-gabriel-magalhae-draw-arsenal-explained/blte3e254323c5ba021" target="_blank">John Stones who found a late equaliser deep</a> inside stoppage time to earn a valuable point for the hosts. Nonetheless, credit must be given to the Gunners who dug deep and almost weathered the storm in a fashion that Mourinho would have been proud of.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>When Arteta was asked if Mourinho has influenced him, he replied: "More than influence, I think you learn a lot from other top coaches and you try to understand why they’ve been successful. But if it goes in a different direction, do you have the ability to adapt?"</p>

WHAT ARTETA SAID

<p>After the match, Stones created quite a furore by claiming that Arsenal have "done [dark arts] for a few years" as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/john-stones-equaliser-rodri-injury-title-race-game-man-city-winners-losers-arsenal-leandro-trossard-red-card/bltd1843a6fd81448e2" target="_blank">Rodri went out injured with a suspected ACL tear.</a></p><p>Arteta rubbished those claims and said: "I always prefer the facts to words or supposing things. Let's see who is available tomorrow and then we can talk about 'dark arts' or these things or if it's a reality. Unfortunately, yes there will be a few players not available. I don't know. It's opinions and that's it."</p><p>When asked if the Arsenal injuries were serious, he said: "We have to wait on one of them. As I mentioned before I think other things will be factors and that's it. We will use the facts. (What are the other factors?) Well, if a player is faking something that means he will carry on and be involved in the squad and play."</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Arsenal will be back in action against Bolton Wanderers in a Carabao Cup third-round tie on Wednesday evening. Following the cup fixture, they will host Leicester City at home on Saturday.</p>
