Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that a shock defeat to Fleetwood Town earlier in the season served as motivation for his side's victory at Liverpool's Anfield stadium.
Arteta made the comments following Arsenal's win over Liverpool in the English Premier League. The Spanish coach suggested the unexpected loss to lower-league opposition forced the team to reassess and improve, ultimately contributing to a strong performance against the Reds.
The match at Anfield took place on November 1, 2026, with Arsenal securing a notable away win.
