Freddie Ljungberg was "extremely proud" of Arsenal fighting back twice against Norwich City on Sunday.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice after Teemu Pukki and Todd Cantwell gave Norwich the lead on two occasions.

And after his first game in charge, Ljungberg said: "I was proud and honoured to be allowed to stand there on the touchline and leading this great club.

"If we look at the game, we started really well and I thought we dominated totally and found pockets and created chances. I would probably expect us to take the lead and go for that.

"The problem I think is that everyone can see that we had problems in transitions while we had possession, so that's something that's easy for a coach because we know what we need to work on. That's to lock and not get countered on in those ways.

"After that, I'm extremely proud of the players because they came back twice from one-nil down and especially when they get 2-1 just before half-time.

"Normally as a coach the morale goes down and we came out fighting and maybe at the end of the game it became a bit too open for my liking.

"I saw my players getting tired, but in the end it was a draw. Of course, I was hoping Lucas was going to put it in the back of the net in the last second, but that's how it is."
