Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka was delighted to prove the matchwinner in their Europa League victory over PSV.

Xhaka struck the only goal of the game on the night.

He later said, "We had chance after chance and we didn't have the luck to score earlier but we had the passion to keep the ball, keep creating the chances and I think we deserved the win.

"In the first half we did a lot of pressure, Everyone who comes here is playing similar to PSV, we knew they had the quality to kill us on the counter attack but we did amazing.

"I'm so happy to score. I don't know when I scored for the last time with the right foot but so happy. It doesn't matter which foot, or who scores.

"It gives us confidence and on to the next one. When you win games you have to be happy. Everything is going well at the moment but for us it is not a surprise, we're doing a lot of work.

"We win and lose as a team and at the moment we are very dangerous. We wanted to go through and are very happy."
