Arsenal defender David Luiz has called on teammates not to get carried away with victory over Newcastle United.

Goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Nicholas Pepe, Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette secured Arsenal only their fourth win under Mikel Arteta's stewardship.

“I think to restart something like we did, with a new philosophy, with a new coach, with a different system, you have to think step by step," the Brazilian said.

“The first thing was to try to create the identity of the team, to improve in many ways, improve in the training ground, improve our behaviours, improve our way of training, improve our way of seeing things, our mentality.

“I think we are doing things every single week in a positive way, we are improving.

“Then, in the end, we start to get some results and we start to think about the table, start to think we still have the possibility and then we try until the end to do our best in the season.

“I am happy with the team, I am happy with how we are understanding better what Mikel wants from us every week.

"We are improving as a team."
