Mikel Arteta pleased with Liverpool win

Mikel Arteta has expressed satisfaction after Arsenal's impressive win on Sunday. The Gunners took the lead in the first minute and always looked in control. Speaking after the victory, the Spanish manager paid tribute to the home fans:

"I’ve never seen it like this; you cannot imagine how much it helps the players, how much belief it gives, how much confidence and support. It’s one of the nicest things we’ve done since we are together here, to unite everybody and feel like you go here, and you’re going to have some experience, and it’s great," said Arteta.

Arteta went on to express confidence in his team's ability to win games.

"At the moment, enjoy where we are and again have even more determination to believe that we can play at that level, only when we go at that rhythm and play with courage that we played the second half, and go step by step," said Arteta.

He added:

"I think on the day we play at our best, we have a chance but winning a football match is dictated by a lot of things that you have to control, and actually, you have to do it on the pitch, that is a different story."

Arteta went on to praise his team's performance against the Reds.

"The feeling of winning is so powerful and so meaningful for me because I saw a team that I feel I really identify with - the personality they show in difficult moments, how they stick to what they have to do, and at the same time they believe they have the courage and the free mind to just go for it, and attack them and put them under pressure," said Arteta.

Arsenal next face Bodo/Glimt on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League.
