Laca, Arteta react to NLD victory

Arsenal won the match 2-1 and Arteta was a happy man.

“Going 1-0 down the way we were playing was disappointing and worst-case scenario against a team like Spurs. But we kept playing and deserve the win,” Arteta said,

“The last 10 minutes we did not manage the game and we need to improve as a team. We relied on luck. With the way we played we should have seen it out comfortably.”

Arteta, who is the third consecutive Arsenal boss to win his first home league meeting with Spurs, following Arsene Wenger and Unai Emery, added: “We had some really strong performances today.

“You could see the energy they were playing with.”It is about how you react. This team have the reaction in them to not give up. We kept playing and generating chances and got rewarded.”

Lacazette did admit that the penalty was a wrong decision.

“We are lucky to get the penalty, I think. Sometimes it is good to have a good decision from the referee,” he told Sky Sports.

“Of course I am happy. Back in the day, I have taken a lot of penalties against [Hugo] but I was confident. You have to be confident.”
