Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Very happy with the performance and the victory as well. I think it is time to praise my players. What they have done not only today but after the international break is remarkable because of the games.

"We had to wait and be patient in the last part of the game to make the difference and win the game. We kept generating chances, the final pass was missing or the last shot was blocked. We said at half-time if this is the case it will go all the way to full time but at some point it would come.

"We have some great moments, we need to put the chances we are creating against the opponent into the scoreline, That is what we need to improve."

On the decision not to award Arsenal a penalty: "I don't know. When they called the referee to the monitor I thought it was a penalty but then I heard the decision was made because of the offside decision. We don't have clarity on it."
