“He almost scored shooting, he had a great shot onto the crossbar, he was involved in both goals – the header he scored and the penalty as well – and the reaction when he had the shot.
“You could see he was voted player of the month last month and he’s come a long way, he has the consistency and the minutes, he understands what we want much better.
“I think his cohesion and understanding with the rest of the players is getting better and better and now it is about consistency and to keep doing it.”
Arteta was asked about the Gunners’ chances of finishing the season in the top four, to which he replied:
“I look at the table with the games that we have remaining. We know where we are and we know what we have to look forward to.
“We have to look at what we do and look at our performances and prepare for the next match and that’s it.
“Because the rest – we are going to be guessing. I’m not a great gambler, I never have been and I don’t want to gamble.”
