After seeing us get off to a winning start at Selhurst Park, Mikel Arteta was thrilled with not just the performance, but with the attitude of his players.
Gabriel Martinelli's header and a Marc Guehi own goal at opposite ends of the game secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory, which saw us control proceedings in the first half before being put under pressure for the majority of the second.
However, we held firm to come out on top, and that was something that pleased the boss as much as the goals and display.
Speaking post-match, he had this to say:
on Selhurst Park always being a difficult place to come to…
It’s a really good win.
