Arsenal won 4-2 versus Leeds last night and Mikel Arteta was a happy man.

He said, “I am really happy because I watch them so much and I know how difficult they are. They are a fantastic team and they showed that over the course of the game, they showed spirit at 4-0 down, throw everything at you and make life very difficult.

“I try to do the best I can, they are a fantastic team, they put you under a lot of trouble and everyone knows their roles. They are very man orientated and we did really good for big period. Credit to them, to maintain the level of belief at 4-0 is remarkable.

“I said at half time, it is 0-0. If their is team in the league who will throw everything at you it is Leeds. We conceded from a set-piece, they pulled another back and their energy level is incredible. It is difficult to maintain the physical demands of the game.”

“We have been missing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goals and him at his best. He has been training after a difficult period with a family issue and we had a feeling he could be key in this game. He was in pain and got a big kick, twisted his ankle but hopefully he will be fine (for Thursday).”
