Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had a lot to be pleased about after their Premier League win over Nottingham Forest.

The Gunners put in an assured display for most of the contest against the City Ground club.

However, they did have to battle for the last ten minutes away from home to secure the result.

“I think everybody was at a really good level," Mikel told Arsenal.com at full-time.

“I'm really pleased with Emile (Smith Rowe) as well because it's been a long time since he had an opportunity to start a game. He's been training really well, really sharp.

“Gabby as well, because he had a slight problem in his knee and in the last two days, he was pushing every physio and myself to be out there with the team. He looked really sharp and he helped us to win the game."
