Mikel Areta has reporter in stitches for gesture after the game after the game to Arsenal

Mikel Areta left another interview after the match, but this time he just joked.

The Arsenal boss returned to his media tasks after his team's 1-0 victory against his team against London Rival Chelsea on Sunday.

Mikel Merino scored the game's only goal with a header in the first half to keep her slim hopes for Premier League-Ruhm alive.

It was another afternoon when Bukayo Saka was missing while he was still recovering from the thigh injury he had suffered in December.

Arsenal has patiently waited for his return to the start -xi, and Arteta has given hope that this will soon happen in a vigilant way.

“You mentioned the international break, Bukayo Saka, after the break you talked positively about him,” said a Sky Sports reporter.

Areta then pretended to run away, which loosened from the interviewer to laugh before returning quickly with a slight grin.

“Does he have a chance?” The reporter asked him for Saka's hopes of returning to action, with Areteta replied: “Yes, he has a good chance.”

Areta was clearly more optimistic this weekend than last.

After the 1-1 draw in Manchester United, he made a quick exit from his interview after the game when he was asked about her title chances.

“I have to ask you about the title race because there are 15 points now, is it too much?” The Sky sports reporter Patrick Davison asked him.

But Areta was no longer, and before he went, he said: “Okay, thank you.”

Arsenal simply did the job against Chelsea to win for the 16th time in the Premier League this season.

Merino's goal was enough to separate the two sides, although David Raya almost gave the blues to the blues.

He could not hold onto a volley of Marc Cucurella and let the ball go through before he saw as he died past the post.

Fortunately for him and arsenal, it was about so narrow Chelsea in the afternoon.

The Gunners are 12 points behind the league leaders Liverpool with nine games that are left over this season.

It would require a dramatic form in the form of the red to swing the title race to Arsenal's favor in the past few weeks.

However, the return of Saka could inspire an unlikely comeback for the outfit in North London.

He was able to return his return when they guest Fulham from the international break in their first game on April 1st.
