"I think it's one of those wins that you're really satisfied with because you know how difficult it was," Arteta said, as quoted on Arsenal's official website on Wednesday.
"With all the preparation, the various problems we faced, the very limited time between games, and having to play against a team that had won 11 games in a row," he added.
