Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta appeared in a press conference following the 7-1 victory against PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League at the Philips Stadium.

The coach said in his remarks: "I am very happy for the players because in the last two matches, we didn't score goals and we know the noise around that."

Regarding the substitution of Myles Lewis-Skelly when he was on a yellow card and could have been sent off: "I didn't see the second incident where he could have been sent off, but we were leading 2-0 away from home, and I didn't want to take that risk. He's very young, so we have to protect him."

On the penalty for PSV: "Momentum can shift, and this is a team that is very used to winning. They have the ability to create chances at many moments. You don't want to put yourself in a position where they score a second goal and the match starts all over again."

He added: "It's a fantastic result away from home in a competition we love and have missed for many years. Today is truly a special night for us."

About Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly: "What they are doing at 17 and 18 years old shows incredible maturity. They are doing this because of the way other players support them and make them better. They have a lot of courage. Myles creates a goal, this is the team I want to see, they take the initiative and want to achieve things."
