Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was left pleased with their 0-0 draw at Manchester City on Sunday.

It was a game of few chances as the Gunners left Manchester with a well-deserved point.

Arteta said: "A really competitive match as you can imagine. We made another big step today.

"They have the capacity to change formations to get you in deep in many moments. They are very physical but I think we coped with that very well.

"I think we had the best situations. We were really aggressive at times and getting the ball into great areas. The way we competed individually and as a team was phenomenal.

"Individually you have to be at your best. I think it is 2021 since they hadn't scored a goal here at the Etihad.

"It was a really tough test for us today. We wanted to win but when you cannot win you must not lose."

He also said: "No way can you be fully happy [with just a point]. Listen I think we have made a big step today. We had the experience of playing here last season and we have come across in a different way today. We played the game in an exceptional way, and in other parts of the game we could have done much better, especially with the ball in the final third.

"We didn't have enough composure to play, and after we had some big, big moments to win the game."
