Arsenal was handed an extremely tricky run of fixtures to start the season, and the fact that Arteta's team is at the top of the table after navigating games against Liverpool, City, Newcastle and Manchester United is ominous for the chasing pack Praising the character of his side, Arteta told BBC Radio 5 Live: "It is a really tough place to come, a really organised team and a really good manager who knows how to set up.When the context is 0-0 and the game gets longer and longer it becomes more difficult, but we showed a lot of maturity." Leandro Trossard scored the winning goal for Arsenal in the second half, turning the ball home from close range after Gabriel had flicked Bukayo Saka's corner on. "We kept knocking on the door in various ways and in the end we find a way with the set-piece to do it but we deserved it in the end," Arteta added of the goal, before praising his defense.

"I don't think we conceded a shot on target, which tells you again how well we were organised. "We had a spell in the first 10-15 minutes where we had a few giveaways and transitions and momentum to them without them really doing much.

We have to keep going now. "We have another big one on Tuesday [at home to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League], they are coming thick and fast."
