​Arteta calls for Arsenal strikers to share scoring load

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to see his team continue to share the goalscoring burden.

Arteta knows his team cannot rely on a single player or two to carry them on the scoring front.

It is why he was delighted to see both Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette score in the win over West Ham United on Saturday.

"We need to share the goals much better. I have already explained it," Arteta told reporters.

"We need to produce as a team if we are going to fight with the top teams in this country and if we just rely one player we are not going make it.

"So they all have to take responsibility – and I have to take it as well by producing those moments for players in different positions in order to achieve that target."
