I believe it was the right thing to do and that's it, Arteta said post-match. Errors are part of football and today it unfortunately happened in a crucial moment.
Daily Mail - 1:55 PM
It's hard because everyone as a player really wanted it today and I know the supporters wanted it, said a dejected Arteta.
Metro - 10:09 AM
I made a decision before the game based on what he has done all season, Arteta said. The fact he has played in the competition and helped us be where we are today.
Daily Mail - 10:52 PM
I understand that, but I have to do what I feel is right, which is honest and which is fair, Arteta said. And I think we have an understanding keeper in Kepa - he's played all the competition and I think it would have been very, very unfair for him and for the team to do something differe...
BBC - 9:12 PM
I want the players to have some perspective, said Mikel Arteta.
Sky Sports - 9:10 PM
I understand that but I have to do what I feel is right, Arteta said. He has played all the competition and I think it would have been very unfair.
Metro - 8:31 PM
We have another session tomorrow, so let's see if they can make it, said Arteta.
Guardian - 10:30 PM
We have to provide more for him, that's it, said Arteta.
Guardian - 12:00 AM
Without that, you have no chance to play in this team, Arteta said of the pressing. Because everybody does it, and that's the magic of it.
Daily Mail - 12:30 PM
I don't know. I haven't heard that. But let's go game by game, please, said Arteta.
Mirror - 10:47 PM
I didn't expect that kind of goal, but his attitude and his decision ­making, yes. If not I wouldn't have made the decision to play him, Arteta said. But then to be that precise and deliver the moment that he delivered, that's something difficult to imagine.
Guardian - 10:30 PM
He's in a much better place now, Arteta said. He's been very unlucky.
Mirror - 2:20 PM
It was amazing, it was one of those moments that I think we're going to remember for a long, long time, Arteta said. I really enjoyed the relentless desire of the team, action by action, to put everything that we had in to earn the right to win the game.
Metro - 8:16 PM
It is big because you put so much passion, effort, hours into this, which is our passion, said Arteta. When you turn around and you see the bench and those eyes just with that happiness, that joy that you're almost not believing what has just happened.
Daily Mail - 7:00 AM
It's so organic for him, he doesn't feel the pressure. He goes, gets the ball, stops on the ball, Arteta said.
BBC - 10:21 PM
It's not only the goal that he scored. I think he changed the game, said Mikel Arteta to Sky Sports. Every time he got the ball, he made things happen. It looked like we were more of a threat. To do that at that age, in this context, with this pressure, it is just not normal.
Sky Sports - 10:10 PM
That's what I see every day, a player that is not phased by the occasion, the opponent, or the game, Arteta said after the game. He's 16. He was incredible for the team, for his teammates, for his family, for all of us related to football. I had a gut feeling the way he was training the l...

I thought we needed something else, said Mikel Arteta afterwards. No surprise at all because that's his biggest quality, added Arteta in his press conference. He's very brave at doing that and is a real threat. To have a player with that ability when you need him, and to step in in the m...
Sky Sports - 1:10 PM
Football is a funny game and it brings special stories, said Arteta. Him coming back here after such a long time, being part of this club, and scoring such an important goal, I think it's a big moment.
Sky Sports - 12:25 AM
We wanted to start very strong in the second half and we've done completely the opposite, Arteta said.
Metro - 9:57 PM
It's been something new for him, said manager Mikel Arteta. When you look at his injury record, it's just blank.
Sky Sports - 9:19 PM
Both of them [Trossard and Calafiori], they had little niggles, Arteta said. They were not comfortable to continue.
Mirror - 4:52 PM
No, it's the other one (not same as Liverpool), said Arteta. We thought the same straight after the game because he wasn't comfortable to finish the game.
Daily Mail - 10:31 PM
It was an unbelievable shot and my heart almost stopped, but he kept it out again, Arteta said after the match.
Metro - 10:56 AM
He turned his ankle against Chelsea, Arteta said pre-match. He managed to finish the game somehow, but he was too sore to play today.
Mirror - 6:59 PM
Unfortunately, Martin is still not feeling totally comfortable with that knee injury, and we decided not to risk him, Arteta said.
Mirror - 5:05 PM
I don't know what happened in that action, Arteta said. He had some niggles this week so I don't know if he's related to that.
Daily Express - 8:12 AM
I don't know what happened in that action, Arteta said. He had some niggles this week so I don't know if he's related to that.
Mirror - 7:14 AM
I reminded them that we were in the exactly same position against Spurs seven days ago in that dressing room, said Arteta.
Daily Mail - 7:00 AM
David is one of our leaders and he's a keeper that knows how to ­maintain his focus and decide a football match when you need it, Arteta said. Sometimes he doesn't parti­cipate at all and then in one action you have to be there, and that's very difficult to do. The save in the last...
