Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta played down Alexandre Lacazette's performance for victory over Aston Villa.

Lacazette was named man of the match for the 3-1 win.

Arteta, however, said: "I think the [man of the match] could have been anybody. I think individually, they were all terrific. If you ask me about Thomas, about Sambi, about Nuno as well, the two central defenders, anybody. I think the way they played was at a high, high level.

"Emile was terrific. He's scoring goals, which we're demanding him to do, because he's capable of doing it. I think it's more about the team today."

On Lacazette limping off, the manager added: "Laca was fatigue. He hasn't played that many minutes. He worked so hard and at some stage he just said 'I've had enough' and he was cramping."
