Arteta spoke after Arsenal's 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur in the 21st round of Premier League fixtures this evening, and Arteta spoke about his thoughts on the game in an official interview with the club.
How are you feeling?
"I am very happy. We had the opportunity to make a lot of fans very happy because it was the most special day of the season and we did that. On top of that, I think the fans will be proud of us and it's an honour for them to represent this club in their own way. ”
'The atmosphere today is one of the best I've ever seen, and that's what we have to do consistently, I said at the press conference, it's up to us, not others, there are things that we can't control, but there are things that we can definitely control, so let's make the most of it.'
Perception of the game
'We played well in the first two games but we didn't win, so we didn't deserve it at all, but that's football and then you have to play the most important game of the season at home.
'When everyone started questioning and guessing who made the mistake, the team showed real determination and eagerness and they gave it their all to inflict damage on the opponent with and without the ball from the first minute.
'We conceded a goal and it didn't deserve to be at all, but we were still able to create a lot of chances, we deserved to win the game, the team was very good and consistent regardless of the result and if we continue to be in that form we will be in a good position by April.'
'I think the momentum is going on now, we've put in so much effort, the players have to recover immediately and play at such a high level, they have to enjoy the game, they deserve it and tomorrow we're ready for the game against Villa and on Saturday we'll be ready again.'
