Mikel Arteta insisted he and Fabian Hurzeler were on good terms after the Brighton boss reached out to clear up his critical comments about Arsenal’s style of play.

Hurzeler accused the Gunners of “making their own rules” following last week’s 1-0 loss to the Premier League leaders and on Friday revealed he had exchanged texts with Arteta, telling the Spaniard he had “huge respect” for the Arsenal boss and everyone at the club.
