Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are now playing with more steel.

Arteta swept home the third goal in his side's comprehensive 3-0 win over West Brom on Saturday. However the Spaniard was just as pleased at Arsenal's third clean-sheet in their last four games.

"We have been trying to get everything tight and be more solid," he told Arsenal Player. "I like to get forward, have freedom and I like to score goals. I want to participate more on the attacking side so I did that and I'm pleased.

"But now we are on a run, we are keeping it together and getting clean sheets. That's important."
