Arsenal came from behind to beat Leeds United at home in the Premier League. After the match, Arsenal defender Timber was interviewed by beIN Sports.

Congratulations on another victory. Was Mikel Arteta's tactical plan from the start to keep two defensive midfielders on the pitch, then bring on Bruno (Guimarães) and you in the second half?

I'm not sure if that was his tactical plan, but I think when we came off the bench, the team needed a change in terms of energy. Bruno did a fantastic job in that regard. I think his energy, fighting spirit, confidence, and composure on the pitch were all outstanding. He played really well and changed the course of the match. Fortunately for us, he's one of our players now.

It was also a beautiful team goal, and he celebrated it brilliantly with the fans. He received some criticism after the last match against Brighton, but his performance today was excellent.

Yes, his performance was outstanding. Everyone knows what he's capable of doing. He already showed it against Sunderland. Today, he came off the bench, scored again, and did the same things. I think that says a lot about his character. As I said, he's very happy with us. That's the level we need to reach, and his performance today was truly excellent.

Calafiori also played exceptionally well. I'm not even sure what position he played anymore, because he's already provided two assists, and now he's scored a goal too, and he's also wearing Beckham Predator boots.

He's truly outstanding. I think his abilities are unique. Today, he once again proved how good he is, both in attack and defense. I think he has everything, and he just needs to maintain it.

It also shows the strength of Arsenal's bench. Next, on Tuesday night, you have an important Champions League match. After a long international break, the schedule is very congested. But how is the team's mood and morale right now? After all, you gave a strong response after losing to Brighton.

Yes, clearly, we lost to Brighton in the last match before the international break, and that result wasn't good. But I think we responded well after the break. Today was a difficult match. Leeds United have been playing very well lately, and they were unbeaten before today. This also says a lot about the level of competition in the Premier League right now, and the standards we need to reach if we want to win every match. In two days, we'll have another exciting match, a Champions League match in front of our fans, so we're really looking forward to it. I'm also happy to be back. I haven't played a home match here for about seven months. So there's a positive atmosphere in the team right now, everyone is in good spirits, and we just need to maintain it.

Good to see you back. You certainly changed the team's dynamics after coming off the bench. Also, how much of a morale boost did Arteta's contract extension with the club until 2030 bring to the team?

Yes, that's fantastic. I think everyone knows what he's done for this club, and I don't even need to explain it again. He has transformed this club, and he clearly has no plans to stop anytime soon, so we'll continue to support him. I'm happy the club extended his contract. I believe we'll have many more great years with him in the future. We're truly fortunate to have a manager like him.
