Mikel Arteta hailed the squad after their goalless draw against Liverpool.
The Gunners faced Liverpool in their first leg of the Carabao Cup at Anfield which resulted in a goalless draw between both sides.
Even after Xhaka’s dismissal in the 24th minute of the game, Arsenal held their ground through the entire match.
The Reds failed to hit a shot on target until the stoppage time and Takumi Minamino missed one of the best chances of the game.
“I’m really proud of what we did today in an extremely difficult stadium, against a great opponent and playing 70 minutes with 10 men,” Arteta said. “When you come to a stadium like this, I said to them you have to pick players who are happy to go to war. You are going to have difficult moments when you suffer.
“If you are willing to help your team, willing to accept that in some moments you are not going to play the game you want, then good things are going to happen. When you play with that spirit, fight and brotherhood around the team, in the end you get rewarded. That is what happened today.”
