Arsenal boss Arteta on thrashing PSV: We went for it from first minute

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with their resounding Champions League return on Wednesday night.

The Gunners won 4-0, with goals coming from Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard.

Arteta later said: "We enjoyed it. From the first minute we went for it. We were really good in both boxes and in the Champions League when you are really good in both boxes you have a chance.

"In between the boxes there are things to improve but inside the boxes we were phenomenal.

"Enjoy tonight, go home and have a nice late dinner with my wife. I will enjoy the moment, enjoy the victory and tomorrow I will focus on Spurs because we have a big game coming up."

On squad depth, he added: "Good headaches. It is probably the hardest thing in the job [to leave players out] because you get emotionally attached to them. It has been a beautiful journey with them."
