Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta wasn't getting carried away after their 2-1 defeat of West Ham.

Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah struck Arsenal's goals.

Arteta said, "I think we were a little bit lucky in certain moments, but we found a way in the end to win it and that's the mentality I want from the team, to always believe that we can do it until the last moment, even when we have difficult games where suffer and make it very difficult for ourselves in certain positions. But in the end it's three points and that's what we're here for. We will take some big notes because there are a lot of things to improve."

He added: "I had a sense after about 55 or 65 minutes that we were dropping. I could see the team were a little bit giving up because it was difficult, they were suffering and they were being a threat in two or three moments.

"I tried to lift them up and suddenly they clicked. I saw a different team in the last 20 minutes, with more belief, much better focus and determination in what we were trying to do. At the end we won the game. We're going to have games like that. With the amount of games we have to play in this calendar year, it's going to happen. The most important thing is to find a way to win."
