Despite the win, which was sealed by a stunning set-piece goal from Eberechi Eze, Arteta downplayed the significance of the victory, emphasizing that it's still early in the season and there's much to improve upon.

The win has widened Arsenal's lead at the top of the league table to four points, but Arteta urged his team to focus on their next match against Brighton rather than getting carried away with the current standings.

Arteta also acknowledged the difficulty of the league, pointing out that rivals Manchester City and Liverpool both lost over the weekend, contributing to Arsenal's lead.

He praised the team's consistency, stating that it's a credit to their hard work and dedication. Arteta also highlighted the importance of set-piece goals, noting that Arsenal have a league-high 11 goals from dead-ball situations.

He credited the team's improvement in set-piece play to a shift in tactics and methods, which have allowed them to find more efficient ways to score.

Arteta also praised Eberechi Eze's goal, describing his technique as "unbelievable" and noting that it was a special moment, especially given Eze's history with the team.
