Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has deflected praise to his players for the club's revival.

Arteta has played down his contribution to Arsenal's upturn in form.

Speaking ahead of their Europa League game against Molde, Arteta said: “No, it's down to the players on how they perform and what they are able to achieve and do on the football pitch.

“I'm just here, another piece around the club to help them achieve as much as possible.

“To give them confidence, to pass onto them my idea of how we have to play, how we have to live together, how I understand this profession and I know how complicated it is.

“It's been almost 11 months, almost four of them sitting at home, for the first job I think it's very special circumstances and I think we have tried to manage it in the best possible way."
