Micky van de Ven has admitted that Arsenal were ruthless against Tottenham on Monday. The Gunners scored three quick goals in the first of their Premier League clash.
Spurs scored twice in the second half but were unable to level matters. The Dutchman said the Gunners mentality is strong.
“The first half was not good from us, 3-0 it can’t happen in your own stadium in a big game like this and I think the second half we played really well, we pressed up high and we controlled the game but in the end it was not enough.
“I don’t think in the football part we are worse than Arsenal. I wouldn’t say we have that problem. The mentality from them is strong but I wouldn’t say that either. But you see their goals and they were ruthless, they took every chance that they had and I think that makes the difference.
“The first half was not good enough. Arsenal sat back deep, but when they countered they were ruthless, they scored almost every chance they had. I think that was missing from our first half in our group."
