. The players deserved to be honoured. The supporters undoubtedly merited acclaim. The manager and his coaching staff warranted veneration. The sense of mutual exaltation was palpable.
“We have a really meaningful opportunity to give a lot of people happiness on a beautiful day and we have delivered that and it is a really great feeling,” the Spaniard said. It can be an addictive one, too. Seven consecutive home Premier League wins – their longest such run under Arteta – sums up that self-fulfilling cycle. For the first time in a while, Arsenal feel like a team in every aspect, with everyone pulling together in the same direction.
There was finally a balance struck between new signings and a trustworthy old guard. Gianluca Scamacca scored but Maxwel Cornet was poor from the start; bringing in fresh faces was never the only answer. It has come at no small expense to their attacking output – under Gary O’Neil, the Cherries have had 30 shots with nine on target in four games, allowing 61 and 18 respectively in that time – but considering the inexperienced interim coach inherited a team which had just lost 9-0 and was predicted by their literal manager to do so a few more times, that’s not half bad. It is undoubtedly a better foundation from which to work than the one his predecessor had carelessly laid.
The 47-year-old’s first Premier League game in charge brought his first taste of Big Six power. Chelsea were second-best for much of their trip to Selhurst Park, conceded the first goal, should really have had a man sent off and had an entire spine of central defence and midfield struggle throughout, with Wesley Fofana and Jorginho particularly susceptible.
