“I think we dominated the game, we created so many chances, we kept a clean sheet — which was really important And we won the game in a convincing way so I’m very happy. ”

“I think the boys had an outstanding performance against a really tough opponent. Today it’s a day to praise them.”
Arsenal, with the away win, stepped up to 66 points from 27 Premier League games, and maintain their first spot in the division.
