FT: Arsenal 2-1 Fulham
Arsenal
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We reacted with a great mentality after a big mistake. We were in control and made a mistake, but we reacted well.
"We had to make changes. The players had to do it and credit to them, because they really made a difference.
"The players have to enjoy today, then start thinking about how we recover and prepare for Villa. It’s going to be another big fight."
On Martin Odegaard: "He’s getting goals and he’s really affecting the game. He wants to make things happen – he’s the captain."
On Gabriel: "Gabriel has shifted his life, the way he looks after himself. He has enough physically and mentally to overcome those situations and I’m so happy for him."
