Arsenal recorded an impressive 2-0 win over Wolves on Saturday afternoon with Mikel Arteta’s tactics paying off to secure a vital three points as Bukayo Saka and Alexandre Lacazette scored.

Mikel Arteta has explained why he was constantly shouting at Dani Ceballos during Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Wolves.

Bukayo Saka and Alexandre Lacazette both found the back of the net as Arsenal climbed to seventh in the Premier League table.

Dani Ceballos has played a key part in Arsenal’s upturn in form since the defeat to Brighton last month and was again handed a start at Molineux.

With no fans in attendance though, Arteta could be heard barking ‘Dani!’ at the midfielder from the touchline throughout the match.

Asked at his post-match press conference what he was trying to communicate to Ceballos, Arteta said: “Just to try to make him aware all the time of the situations happening on the pitch and to try to help him to make the best possible decisions.”

But the Spanish boss was delighted with the Real Madrid loanee’s showing alongside Granit Xhaka in midfield.

“I think [they] dictated the game really well for the first 45 minutes," he said.

“And then when the game plan changed a little and we suffered, they read the situation really well.

“They gave the team exactly what they needed. Above all, we have to manage the game, at times they did this with great maturity.”

Arsenal are now on a run of four straight wins in all competitions having also secured their place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Incredibly, victory against Wolves was Arsenal’s first away league win against a side starting above them in the league table since September 2015.

And Arteta hailed the win as one of the best wins of his managerial career.

“That is probably one of the best because of the difficult schedule that we had compared to them in terms of the recovery," he added.

“And for how well they have been doing for the whole season and because of COVID-19.

“To come here and win the way we have done today is not an easy thing to do, it's another step forward in our process so I am really happy today.”

Next up for the north London side is the visit of Leicester on Tuesday night.
