Arsenal news: Mikel Arteta seethes at ‘lies’ as Tottenham and Antonio Conte still fuming | Football | Sport
“When we played the first three games of the season we were killed because people said we were naïve don’t play with your kids.
“We know we did the right thing. We worked with the Premier League and the FA to make that decision. If anything we’ve been very honest at least.”
Arteta’s staunch defence comes after Conte’s own eyebrow-raising comments on Tuesday, where he effectively warned against a worrying precedent that could be set by the Premier League’s decision to postpone the match despite just one Covid case.
“If the Premier League decides to postpone games for injury, it means that maybe they have to try to make a best schedule and to reduce many to play games,” he vented.
