Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with their attitude for victory over Burnley.

Leandro Trossard, William Saliba and Oleks Zinchenko struck for the 3-1 win.

Arteta said: "The level and the consistency the team is showing, how we are playing, how the team is competing, we are always there.

"The team is showing real maturity as well as a lot of hunger to be there and show a bit of bite and teeth in the right moments, and today we've done that really well I think.

"I'm really pleased with the performance. The way the team played, how much we generated, the approach we had from the beginning. We talked about it last night, that it was going to be tough. We've played a lot of games, a lot of minutes and this was going to be something very different to the last two games, and the team was really mature. Patient, but with the right aggression as well, and I think we fully deserved to win the game."

Saliba's headed goal was vital, admits Arteta.

"The timing was crucial because the fear today was after 60, 65 minutes (if) we have to change the game, with the options that we had, especially with the injuries that we have, it was going to be more complicated to restore the energy level and find all the solutions, so the timing was very important for us to win the game."
