**Mikel Arteta**addressed the match management of **Arsenal**after their dramatic win over Wolves.
The first 70 minutes was far from inspiring at the Emirates Stadium,, but the league’s best defence would have expected to see out the win when **Sam Johnstone**scored an own goal. However, Tolu Arokodare levelled the score for the guests as **Arsenal**conceded late for a second successive Premier League game, following their 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, and a **Yerson Mosquera**own goal was needed to bail out the league leaders. Rest, recovery and a reset of standards is necessary.
*“Every time you win in the Premier League, you should be happy. You should be conscious of the difficulty of it, but we made it even harder for ourselves. That's the big lesson that we have to do.*
“When the opponent merits something, that's fine and they did a lot of things to make it difficult for us, but that's one of the things that, I don't know, we should make sure that we improve them.
“When we have the ball in the hands of the keeper and we don't play, we just kick it. This is on us.
“We have to continue to play in the manner that we have to play. We can manage the result in a certain way, but it has to be on ourselves. We can defend it because they commit a lot of players and there's a moment that you cannot press them, that's fine, but the level of activity in that block has to be very different to the one that we had.
“What we have to do now is reset, give them two days that they can decompress a little bit and then we have a long week that we can prepare. When we don't train, there are things that slowly deteriorate and certain habits start to deteriorate because you don't train them and use that opportunity to do so.
“It will give everybody a boost because we know that the Christmas period is often seen as season-defining and we want to be on top of it.”
