Mikel Arteta couldn't hide his pride after Arsenal delivered a week of pure drama and determination, securing two massive wins that have them on the brink of Premier League glory.

The Gunners edged past West Ham 1-0 on Sunday thanks to Leandro Trossard's late strike—a goal that kept the title race firmly in their hands. But it wasn't without its heart-stopping moments: the Hammers thought they'd snatched a point in stoppage time, only for VAR to rule it out, sparking wild celebrations among the traveling Arsenal faithful.

That victory restored Arsenal's five-point lead at the top and means just two more wins will seal the crown. It capped off a remarkable week that saw Arteta's men battle past Atletico Madrid 1-0 in midweek to book a spot in the Champions League final for the first time since 2006—a double dose of history that has fans dreaming of an unforgettable season.

"They've been phenomenal," Arteta beamed after the West Ham win. "The courage, determination, and quality they've shown all week—there's so much at stake after everything we've done for 10 months, and now is the moment that matters."

He was quick to praise the supporters too, adding: "The beauty is we haven't done it alone. Our fans have been incredible—you can see what they've done today in this stadium yet again. Thank you so much—it feels like a big moment."

Reflecting on the tense clash at the London Stadium, Arteta said: "It's been an incredible afternoon and an incredible week. The game had everything you'd expect from two teams fighting for their lives with different objectives but the same commitment. It was a really top match."

For Arsenal, it's all about momentum now. With the title in sight and a European final on the horizon, this is the kind of week that defines a season—and a manager's legacy.
