Mikel Arteta saluted Arsenal's hunger as the gritty Gunners ignored the absence of Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard to clinch an "ugly" 1-0 win at bitter rivals Tottenham on Sunday.

Martin Odegaard looks likely to miss Arsenal's Premier League matches against Tottenham and Manchester City as well as the start of the Champions League after injuring his ankle, according to Norway's team doctor.

Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal's tense 3-2 win at bitter rivals Tottenham proved they can cope with the pressure of their "beautiful" challenge to win the Premier League.
