Arsenal were brilliant against Spurs and Mikel Arteta is very pleased with the 'connection' he and his players have with the club's supporters. AFC
“The players grabbed the game and deserved to win it,” the Spaniard told“I hope this will give them more belief that they can win at this level in the way we want them to play.“We have a really meaningful opportunity to give a lot of people happiness on a beautiful day and we have delivered that and it is a really great feeling.
Speaking to BT Sport, Arteta added: “They were phenomenal. We went from it and we created great energy in the stadium and deserved to win the game.” “But we didn’t have that in the back of our mind, we were free, courageous and brave and this is what we demand from the players. It gives us a lot of encouragement and confidence to believe that we can play at this level.”
Jesus also told BT Sport: “To be honest it’s the second time I scored in a derby. The first was for Brazil against Argentina. I’m very happy, I want to score in every game and the way team played from the first minute showed how we wanted to play. The Swiss midfielder says his side were the better team from minute one and is pleased to get his first goal against Spurs.
