Champions League: It was a beautiful night – Arteta speaks on 4-0 win over PSV

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has said their 4-0 win over PSV in the Champions League was an impressive performance.

Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard all scored for the Gunners, as they marked their return to the competition in style.

Arteta, speaking after the game, said: “It was a beautiful night. After such a long time we needed to produce the right performance to try to win the game.

“It was great to see the atmosphere, the Champions League music. It was getting a bit emotional before. We showed in both boxes we were exceptional and that was the difference.

“I was really excited about [the game]. I don’t show that too much. It’s part of the journey, it started last year. We earned the right to be in this competition which is where we have to be as a club and now we have a responsibility to produce to stay at this level.

“From box to box, there were things we should have done much better. But at the same time to play the way they play in certain moments and to score four goals in the Champions League against a team that hasn’t lost a game, credit to them.”
