The Gunners’ Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Elneny was among Arsenal’s starting line-up for the match and he had a strong impact in the match.

Arteta commented on the victory, saying “Today's performance was overall positive because we won the game but as well we had some moments after scoring the first two goals where we were a little bit disconnected.”
