Alan Shearer has praised Arsenal for the quality of their defensive performances, highlighting the collective effort that has helped the Gunners establish themselves as one of the strongest teams in the country.

The former striker believes Mikel Arteta has built a side that understands the importance of defending together and protecting its goal. Arteta has gradually transformed the culture at Arsenal since taking charge, giving the club a clearer identity and building a team capable of competing for major honours.

One of the biggest changes has been the way the Gunners approach matches, particularly their willingness to prioritise defensive organisation. Early in his time at the Emirates, Arteta wanted his players to produce attractive football, but the team sometimes sacrificed defensive stability in the process.
