Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was eager to highlight Nicolas Pepe after victory over Wolves last night.

Pepe sparked Arsenal's comeback with a late equaliser before Alexandre Lacazette's injury time winner.

Arteta said, "I told you last week, I see a different Nico. I don't know, it's his energy, his happiness, his all-round play, how he's training, I was convinced that he could come in and do something for the team.

"He's on the right path and when you're able to do that and contribute to the team, you're going to get more minutes.

"The more minutes you have, you need to make the most out of them in training every single day and show what you can do. He has the ability to do it, that's for sure."

On Lacazette, Arteta added: "When I see our striker in the 85th minute, chasing a full-back in the corner flag, winning the ball back, playing, going, fighting, missing one chance, missing two chances, going again. What can I do? I can only praise him and try to help him as much as possible and give him support. At the end he got the reward. For me, it's Lacazette's goal."
