Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insists he feels optimistic about the future.

The Gunners bounced back after losing their first three Premier League games by beating Norwich City on Saturday.

"I can really see the light," Arteta said ahead of Saturday's clash with Burnley. "I'm telling you I'm very positive most of the time. I've seen the light and I can see bright lights.

"There can be bumps in the road within that light, but I can see a lot of light."

He added: "Life brings you things and you cannot decide it.

"There are certain things that you cannot control. What is coming to you is coming for a reason. Sometimes we don't want to see it, but it's coming for a reason - and it's probably for the right reason.

"Then it's about how you take it and how you respond to that. The way that everyone around me responded is the way that I responded. That's why it's been fine.

"It's tough because it hurts, because you want to see something different. But what you want is not always what happens. Things happen for a reason and maybe what is happening had to happen and [maybe] it's going to be really good for the club and really good for myself and everybody experiencing that situation. We have to believe that."
