How Mikel Arteta reacted as Gabriel Jesus denied 'clear' Arsenal goal amid Man United decision

 Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's every move was captured on camera during the Gunners' 3-0 win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium


MIKEL ARTETA PRAISES GABRIEL JESUS AFTER WIN AGAINST BOURNEMOUTH


Mikel Arteta had plenty of reasons to celebrate as Arsenal beat Bournemouth at the weekend.


Not only did the 3-0 victory at the Vitality Stadium maintain the Gunners' perfect start to the new Premier League season, they now sit top of the table as the only side with a 100 percent winning record following Manchester City's thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle United.


And thanks to Arsenal.com as well as YouTube, supporters have been shown just how animated Arteta was throughout the game on the South Coast and how he celebrated Martin Odegaard's brace as well as William Saliba's wonderstrike to open his account for the club

On Monday evening, the north London outfit uploaded their latest 'Bench Cam' video of the season and this once again captured the Spaniard's every move in the dugout. Unsurprisingly Arteta was delighted with a quickfire double from his captain as he applauded both goals and high-fived members of his coaching staff.


Meanwhile, for Saliba's goal Arteta immediately hugged set-piece specialist Nicolas Jover and was seen taking notes and handing out instructions to numerous players such as Oleksandr Zinchenko, Eddie Nketiah, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli throughout the duration of the 8.40-minute clip.


However, perhaps to the surprise of many supporters, the Arsenal manager didn't even flinch when Gabriel Jesus thought he had scored the visitors' fourth goal of the game which was ruled out for offside following a VAR check.


Given that Arteta had celebrated the previous three goals without bothering to wait for VAR, it did appear a little strange that at around the 5.21-minute mark when the ball hits the back of the net he just turns to Albert Stuivenberg - one of his assistants on the touchline - and shortly afterwards they are preparing a triple change.


Maybe he knew the goal was going to be ruled out, hence the muted celebration, but he did heap praise on the £45m summer signing for his all-around performance against the Cherries.


"New confidence, spark, and that winning mentality that he has and the way he competes for every ball and the way he transmits his energy and his quality to the rest of the team," Arteta said. "You can see that in the way he was involved today. He didn’t score, he got a goal disallowed, unfortunately, but he was in every


action."
