 We needed Aaron because he made an incredible save just before half-time, Arteta said. My reaction there when I saw the ball leaving Maddison's foot, I said 'goal'. So I don't know how it happened, it was incredible - and the moment and the timing.

I am delighted to have him, first of all as a person he is such a great character, said Arteta. He is doing all the right things, top professional and I think he is giving us a lot of composure in the backline, the way he defends and understands the work that we want to do with him.

After looking through what the best solution would be, a person that I know was on the market was available, Arteta said.
|
As a club we are always in touch, Arteta said.

You have to connect different cultures, languages, ways of thinking, different backgrounds, because they have all been coached in different ways, said Arteta.

Yes we have been as a club always in touch, said Arteta. They went to see the game as well, Edu and Ben [Knapper] were there to watch him and to keep a close eye on him and the progress that he's making.

It was a bit of sickness, tummy aches and stuff like that. Hopefully everyone will be OK, Arteta said.

I'm extremely happy at Arsenal and privileged to be here. My focus is here, Arteta told reporters.

There's been a few of them that haven't been able to train, said Arteta on Friday.
|
Well, we have used him [Maitland-Niles] a lot and in different moments he has played minutes, said Arteta.

It opens up more space to give opportunities for the group and obviously is a trophy we want to compete for -- that's the whole point of it, said Arteta. It is great to see the players that we have get opportunities, the way they played, the way they competed against a really good side.
