Mikel Arteta was very pleased with Arsenal after the Gunners took another step toward the Premier League title with a dramatic 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday.
Viktor Gyokeres was again on the scoresheet and Max Dowman became the youngest scorer in Arsenal history when he danced 50 yards to score his first Premier League goal and salt away the win.
The Gunners took a 10-point lead over Manchester City before the latter kicked off later Saturday at West Ham with two matches-in-hand.
Mikel Arteta reaction — What did Arsenal boss say after late breakthrough over Everton?
"It was unbelievable. With all the time we invested and the effort, all of the commitment we put to the passion to this incredible game called football. To experience those moments with the crowd, the staff, the players. The joy in their eyes is special. I think this is one of our best wins. I think people will remember the time the 16-year-old kid took the ball at the end line and went all the way."
"How much we wanted it. The desire that we all have to go and achieve what we have to achieve. We want to put everything that we have into making it happen. Hopefully day by day we can earn it."
"You have to. That's the condition. We have so much ability and especially so much desire to do it. The crowd kept believing in the players as well and we just had to do it."
"That's what I see every day — a player that is not phased by the occasion or the opponent. He's 16. He was incredible for the team, for his teammates, for his family, for all of us related to football."
"One more game and that's what we had to do. That was our duty. It was our dream to do it and that's what we managed to do."
