EPL: Pressure we put on ourselves too much – Arsenal’s Eze admits

Arsenal forward, Eberechi Eze has said that Mikel Arteta team is under serious pressure.

According to the England forward, the team has no time to listen to pundits or criticism coming from outside.

Arsenal beat Newcastle United 1-0 on Saturday to return to the top of the Premier League table.

Eze scored the game’s only goal to give the Gunners all three points at Emirates Stadium.

The win over the visitors moved Mikel Arteta’s side to the top of the Premier League table with three points ahead of second-placed Manchester City.

Manchester City have a game in hand as Pep Guardiola’s side were on FA Cup duties against Southampton.

After the game, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano on X, Eze said, “I don’t hear pundits! The pressure we put on ourselves is so much more than what’s coming from outside.”

He, however, said the pressure is necessary to win matches and the Premier League title.

“It’s the necessary pressure to win, it’s not negative, it’s beautiful,” he said.
