Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was happy for Bernd Leno after a winning return at Aston Villa.
For the first time since August, Leno was named in the starting line up for a Premier League game, and he marked his return with a clean sheet to help earn a vital win.
Afterwards Mikel Arteta praised the attitude and commitment of the German goalkeeper, who was called into action deep into injury time to keep our Philippe Coutinho's free-kick.
"He had control, emotionally he was prepared and I'm really happy for him," Mikel said after the game. "Obviously it's been a tough few months for him because he's always played in his career, but he has stayed there, Aaron has been here to support him and it's great to see those things.
"His reaction has been very good, accepting the role, it's very difficult not accepting it, but relaxing about it, just trying to push and improve in every area and this is what we want from our players."
