Micky van de Ven admits Arsenal were brutal against Tottenham on Monday. The Gunners scored three quick goals in their first Premier League game.

Spurs scored twice in the second half but could not reduce the problem. The Dutchman said the Gunners morale was strong.

The first half was not good for us 3-0 it could not have happened in your own stadium in such a big game and I think the second half we played very well we hit high and we controlled the game but In the end it was not enough.

I do not think in football we are inferior to Arsenal. I will not say that we have a problem. The mood of others is strong but I do not say. But you see their goal and they are not cruel they take every opportunity they have and I think it makes a difference.

Arsenal attacked hard but when they fought back they were merciless they scored almost every chance. That they have. I think it missed the first half in our team.
