Lens defender Kevin Danso delighted with victory over Arsenal

Lens defender Kevin Danso was delighted with victory over Arsenal.

Lens deserved their Champions Leegue win after going behind to Gabriel Jesus' effort for the visitors.

Danso said: "We gave it our all today in front of our own fans.

"It was a difficult game. Arsenal had a lot of quality and made us sit back really deep, but we kept defending and kept our concentration. Luckily we won the game.

"The goal came from a mistake of our own, they didn't really create it, although it was a brilliant [finish] by Gabriel Jesus.

"We managed to get one back quickly and went on to win the game. It's a good result.

"At home we know how strong we are, in front of our fans. That's what we always try to do: win at home.

"I'm a bit gutted about the clean sheet, but we'll take the three points definitely."
