Arsenal's players were delighted with victory over Stoke City on Sunday.

Arsenal scored three times in the last 15 minutes, including a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang double, to beat relegation-threatened Stoke.

Aaron Ramsey, speaking to Sky Sports, stated: "It was a difficult first half. Sometimes that happens after the international break but it was important to us to stay in the game.

"We're delighted to get the three points. We were committed and it was important not to concede."

On the empty seats: "The crowd was behind us. They were frustrated in the first half but they stuck with us, We don't let it affect us."

Aubameyang also remarked: "It was not easy. It is not always easy after an international break. We did a good job.

"I felt a little bit under pressure (when taking the penalty after missing against Manchester City) but I was just thinking I had to score and I needed to focus.

When asked why he didn't take the second penalty, he added: "I know Alexandre Lacazete is back and I had scored twice already so I knew it would be good for his confidence."
