"I wanted to celebrate it with a win, I've got it. Now we have to prepare well during the international break because what's coming before the next break is going to be really difficult again. We've had to adjust a lot of things with some players who were coming as well from big injuries and surgeries in the first few weeks of the season."
"I'm very proud, [300] is a big number for this football club. I want to thank everybody, especially my coaching staff who have been with me since day one, So it's been a challenge but the team has been, I think, very convincing in performances and results and it's a good platform now to continue."
Arsenal beat West Ham 2-0 before the international break with goals from Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, taking the club to the Premier League summit. Bukayo Saka marked his 200th Premier League appearance and his 100th goal involvement, becoming the seventh-youngest player to reach that milestone and the youngest since Romelu Lukaku in February 2017. Mikel Arteta managed his 300th game for Arsenal, recording his 177th win and ranking behind Guardiola, Mourinho and Dalglish for wins in their first 300 top-flight matches. Arteta thanked his longstanding coaching staff, noted adjustments for players returning from injury, called recent performances convincing and warned of difficult fixtures ahead. Arsenal face struggling Fulham next.
