MIKEL ARTETA spent part of the biggest week of his life watching his kids run round the room with their heads in their hands.
But even after the frustration of watching Tottenham captain Heungmin Son miss a chance to derail Premier League title rivals Manchester City, Arteta still believes it can finish in style.
The Arsenal manager admitted he was glued to Tottenham’s game with City on Tuesday and went on a roller coaster of emotions, particularly when Son went clean through but missed the chance to equalise.
Arteta said: “My kids were running around the table and going like this [head in hands]. You can imagine. That is magic as well, to have the opportunity to be living it, next to your family and next to your colleagues. Being part of that.
“If I had to pick a player in the Premier League for that moment, it probably would be him.
“Michael Jordan explained it many times, how many times he had the winning shot. It was always him. Sometimes yes, sometimes he did not manage to do it. This is the beauty of sport, as well. What can you do?”
