Arteta urges Arsenal to drop 'perfect goal' chase after narrow win

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said the team must become more efficient and stop chasing a "perfect goal" after their 1-0 win over Hull City that kept them six points clear at the top of the Premier League. The victory, secured by a 72nd-minute header from captain Martin Ødegaard, was reported by Yahoo Sports. Earlier in the week, Arsenal travelled to Prague and beat Slavia Prague 2-1 in the Champions League, with Viktor Gyökeres scoring the second goal, providing an assist and delivering a strong first-half performance, while goalkeeper David Raya made a late save, according to the London Evening Standard.
