Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal have now proven they are capable of handling the heat of a Premier League title race – but is still demanding more from his squad.
While the Gunners boasted only 28 per cent of the possession against Manchester City, they restricted the defending champions to minimal chances in earning a vital point.
It allowed Liverpool to take charge, Jurgen Klopp's Reds now three points clear, but Arteta insisted the draw has shown how his side have arrived as serious challengers.
'We are improving, we are competing better and we are understanding how to compete in these games,' Arteta said.
