Arteta delighted with the spirit of his players
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta told Sky Sports: "What I love is the spirit of these players. When you lose matches you get punished and criticised but with these players I don’t care because they’re growing. For us to win a London derby away the way we did it I’m really happy as well
“I said to them if you want to play Champions League football you have to come to places like this and win.”
On Eddie Nketiah's performance, Arteta added: "What I’ve been saying all the time about Eddie. When you look at him in training and how humble he is all the time, good things happen. Good things happen to good people. The same with Mo Elneny and Rob Holding."

Tuchel unhappy with the quality of the pitch
Speaking to Sky Sports after the loss, Thomas Tuchel said: “To say that the pitch is difficult to play here sounds like an excuse, but it is.
“It is a very difficult pitch we have here. It's not to our favour. The ball bounces very awkwardly in front of Andreas (Christensen) when he runs to play the ball. We had the same mistake against Real Madrid.”

Saka's post-match thoughts
Speaking to Sky Sports, Bukayo Saka said: "We wanted to give the fans something to believe in us and we did that. We showed fight and character. It’s a huge result.
"It means a lot to us. Losing three games in a row is really difficult."
On the late penalty and Azpilicueta's reaction, Saka added: "Of course he is going to be angry with me but it is what it is. It was a penalty."
