00:00So it's all over here at the Emirates and a win for Arsenal, a much needed win I think after that
00:04difficult week last week. Those defeats, the new castle, the loss to Manchester United on penalties,
00:10you could kind of sense the mood was sort of turning a bit here before this game and I think
00:14this was all about the result really for Arsenal. Keep themselves in the title race, as we say lift
00:19the mood. It was kind of a similar performance to receive from Arsenal, they created lots of
00:24chances, they didn't take them so I don't think you leave this game thinking that Arsenal's
00:27attacking problems are solved, far from it. But I think the spirit in the team, certainly for someone
00:32looking like Myles Lewis-Skelly, an 18-year-old starting in the North London derby, what a
00:35brilliant performance from him. Gabriel as well, so impressive in both boxes and Arsenal found a
00:40way to get a win and I think given the week they had this was always going to be about the result
00:45and performance was something that I tested worried about afterwards. The fans here, party
00:49at the full-time whistle, going to where a few of them finally making their way out now, big night
00:53for Arsenal and a vital three points.
