Following Mikel Arteta’s explosive rant directed at the referee with regards to an overturned penalty in their drawn Champions League semi-final first-leg clash against Atletico Madrid, the Arsenal boss now wants his charges to channelise that anger into their performance when they face Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday. 

“We’re hungry to play, hungry to compete, hungry to win, and hungry to be closer to achieving our dream. Let’s keep doing what we did all season and bring that energy, that passion and together we’re going to make it happen,” Arteta at his pre-match press conference on Friday, as they chase their maiden league title since 2004. Although the Gunners have only lost once to Fulham in their last 10 EPL encounters, their recent form remains a concern — they’ve won just two of their last eight matches across all competitions.
