Arsenal boss Arteta proud of players after win against Man Utd

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was proud of his players after their 3-1 win against Manchester United.

Nuno Tavares, Bukayo Saka and Granit Xhaka all struck for the Gunners, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring for the visitors. Bruno Fernandes also missed a penalty for United.

Arteta said, "A big performance in a game I think had everything. Moments where we showed really quality, a game where we had to suffer, a game where there were moments where we were a bit lost and lacking energy, a game where we were really efficient in the boxes, a game where we had luck when we needed it. Overall I am extremely happy."

On Tavares scoring, he also said: "The way he played as well. He had difficulties in the second half a bit but we helped him with a change of shape. They are really young. You can sense it at some stages in games that we have to make other decisions."

On Saka's fitness, Arteta stated: "We had four or five with difficulties to make the team before. He was one, White was one, Granit had an eye issue, Eddie hasn't played many minutes. The boys are doing everything they can to be on the field and I feel lucky."

On the Champions League race, he concluded: "I said this is going to be a rollercoaster. The winning and losing in this league is small margins. Today things went our way and we are really happy."
