Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted as they ground out a battling 1-0 win at Everton on Sunday.

Leandro Trossard struck the only goal of the game as David Raya kept a cleansheet on debut for the Gunners.

Arteta later said: "It was a long time without a win here. We played a great game, we didn't give anything away. We dominated the game and created numerous chances. The score should probably have been bigger.

"I really enjoyed this. Against Manchester United, I saw my face after and it was a bit of relief. This was enjoyment.

"The 11 players played really well. We had numerous chances, we were patient and Leandro produced an incredible finish to win the game."

On picking Raya, he said: "It is like playing Fabio Vieira, it is nothing different. I have 11 players to pick and no-one is different."

On Trossard's winner, Arteta added: "Great finish. He did it in the week with Belgium as well. It's what we need - the players who came in did very well, the subs that came on did very well. We need everyone on their toes and we fully trust them."
