Arsenal coach McCle Artita appeared in newspapers after beating Leicester 2-0 in the 25th round of the Premier League.

The coach said: "We knew that the match would be difficult. In the first 20 minutes, we were very organized. It opened that game a little. We had no real threat and we did not play enough urgency. We were more severe in the second half," the coach said.

He added: "McCill Mirino can give us something with Trosard on the left, Mirino has a sense and timing inside the penalty area, we were about to reach a different level of anxiety. We were calm and we scored two great goals and we could score a goal or two goals."

About Nawairi and Luis Skali: "They are physically wonderful, and from an emotional and mental point of view, you also have to see how calm, and how they make decisions on the field is really impressive, so let them continue."

He concluded: "Let's look at it day after day and take a lot of positives from the second half, but we also know that the first half was not good enough to win the matches."
