Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with his players after their 1-0 win against Manchester City.

Gabriel Martinelli found a scrappy late winner for the Gunners.

Arteta said: "So proud. It was the moment with the right people and the right players. W knew we would have to suffer and we did that. You need a big performance and the crowd too. It feels like a big win.

"I think the way we started we conceded the corner and then we gained some control and in the second half we started really good. We were there and really aggressive. The changes helped as well. The quality they produced in the goal was top.

"[City] give you a lot [of problems] and we gave them a lot of issues as well. It is not easy to get out. You need the right timing, the right movement, the right moments. I like the courage.

"You are going to have these [hard] moments against this team. You have to be direct and managed the emotions and make sure you don't get caught against this team."

On goalkeeper David Raya, he also said: "I think he was excellent. The way he controlled the ball. How dominant the was and how high he played. I love players with courage and David certainly has big ones.
