After the game withe Brentford Mikel Arteta spoke to the media about Arsenal's victory:

- I’m really pleased with the way we played, the performance, how we controlled certain areas of the game that are very mandatory if you want to dominate a game against Brentford. I’m really pleased to minimise the opportunities for them.

Are we’re in the title race? You can ask me every day. Today we are top of the league, I am so happy, yesterday I was annoyed because we lost it and we used that today as we want to get back there and show that we want to be there and that’s what we’re going to do. Push to be the best that we can be and that’s the aim and then the table won’t lie after 38 games.
