Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin was delighted to be part of their victory at West Ham United.

Coquelin was recalled from a loan spell at Charlton Athletic in mid-December, and feels his temporary move to the Valley was a beneficial one.

"It's been a long time for me without [starting] in the Premier League, but I think the loan at Charlton was very good for me and helped me a lot," he told Arsenal Player. "I got a lot of games under my belt, and I'd like to thank Charlton for that.

"Now I'm back here and I tried to give 100 per cent to help the team. We won [against West Ham], so it was a good performance.

"I'm happy to be here and to get minutes. Today was my first start and we got a win, so now we'll just move on to the next one and see what happens."
