In the third round of the Premier League, Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at home. After the match, Arsenal manager Arteta spoke to the British media.

Mikel, that was truly a very high-quality football match. I enjoyed it very much. The team fell behind very early, and you had to give it your all to turn things around.

Indeed, it wasn't the start we wanted, but our response was absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the team's performance from start to finish. We showed competitiveness, played at our own tempo, and demonstrated aggression. We had to attack proactively, create threats for the opponent, and dare to take risks. We created a lot of chances, and it really looked like we were enjoying this performance. It was an incredible game.

Against Chelsea, you also had to perform exceptionally well defensively. I've watched all their games live this season, and compared to their other matches, they seemed to struggle to create chances against you today.

Yes, but first of all, they have a very good manager who organizes the team very well. In addition, they have strong individual players. You feel that these players can create something incredible at any moment with their individual ability. Today, I think we limited them well. They had two or three chances that looked very dangerous, but overall, I think it was an incredible performance from us.

I want to ask about Ødegaard, who has scored 3 goals this season—if you count the Community Shield, which I do—he only scored 1 goal all last season. He's a very good player, but I think he's now found his best form.

I think he's enjoying his football. I think his personal life has stabilized, and he's now able to play and train normally. He has his daily routine and is surrounded by many top players. If he's smart enough, he can get a lot of help from these teammates. I think he performed very well today.

Of course, it's still early in the season, but you've played 3 league games and won all of them, conceding only 1 goal. You must be very satisfied.

Yes, we are very happy. We need to continue raising the bar and strive for improvement every time, because we still have plenty of room for improvement. But I think we also need to enjoy today's victory, because it was a very important one.
