Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to Amazon Prime: "Really, really happy with the performance. We played an opponent that has a lot of personality, is really difficult to deal with when you don't have the ball.

"The first half was very dominant and we created a lot of chances and then the second half was a different story.

"We suffered much more than we should have done. The Champions League brings different demands but I think we handled it really well."

On Kai Havertz's form: "He has been unbelievable. His football brain, the way he understands space, his timing, he brings people together. Hs work ethic is incredible and now he is a real threat around the box. He is one of our main players at the moment."
