Arteta's men make no mistake against their lesser opposition, seeing off Leeds United 4-1. Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus scored a brace and helped his team to victory with his performances.
The Arsenal manager spoke to the press about the 25-year-old and his contribution to the team: "I'm delighted for him. They were all clapping for him and he's been working so hard the last four or five months with a lot of support obviously from the team and the staff.
"He deserved the chance to start and he grabbed the opportunity with a lot of conviction and scoring two very important goals," he added.
Moreover, the Spaniard explained what he told his players at half-time to improve for the second half: "Well, the first thing is that we had to improve. Obviously the way that they set up, they were really man-marking our attacking midfielders and they played with four really fast players to cut us in transition.
"We started to lose the ball in areas that we cannot do against a team that wants to defend that way. We improved that a lot, we exploited all of the spaces and we changed a little bit the shape and position of a few players, and we were more fluid attacking in the final third very close to the box with good numbers and good positions. We looked a threat," he concluded.
