Arteta delighted with Arsenal win at Brentford

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted after their 3-1 win at Brentford on Wednesday.

Bryan Mbeumo did Brentford Forward before Gabriel Jesus, Mikel Merino and Gabriel Jesus struck for the visitors.

Arteta said afterwards: “We won in a difficult stadium, against a good opponent. The record they have here is unbelievable and when you go 1-0 down, it makes it even harder.

“We have to navigate through some difficult moments.

“We started really fast and aggressive and adapting again. We had some injuries and sickness and we had to play some different players.”

About Gabriel Jesus’ form and different goalkeepers, he said: “Very important. Today Martinelli scored and Michael scored from a set-piece.

“In the last calendar year you see who has scored for us and that is our strength.

On Ethan Nwaneri’s performance, Arteta added: “Really good. In training he gave us all the right reasons. He is an academy player and he needs to play because he deserves it.”
