Mikel Arteta held a meeting with his players following the defeat by Manchester United
Mikel Arteta explained he held a meeting with Arsenal's players after the defeat by Manchester United to "bring the temperature down" - as he promised "beautiful" things lie ahead.
A 3-2 loss against United on Sunday was Arsenal's first home defeat of the season and just their third in the Premier League after 23 games.
The Gunners are four points clear of Manchester City and Aston Villa but are without a win in their three most recent domestic league matches after draws against Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
Yet Arteta said the reaction in the team meeting was "excellent", and he believes that bodes well for prospects of success in the remainder of the season.
