'It is a new unit and players will take time to understand'

Mikel Arteta spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Arsenal's victory against Ipswich: "It was what it was. In the first half especially we were super dominant and should have scored more chances. The second half we didn't start great and credit to them, they were tough to break down and are well organised."

On how players stepped up without injured Bukayo Saka: "Very good. It will be different. We had moments in the second half. It is a unit that is new and will take time for players to understand fully."

On the title race: "Considering all the circumstances we had this season, the amount of times we had to play with 10 men, all the injuries that we had, it's good to be in the position that we are but it's not where we want to be. We want to be first."
