Emirates Stadium witnessed Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Brighton in the Premier League, and after the match, head coach Mikel Arteta spoke about the team's performance, injuries, and their impact on the squad.

Regarding today's win, Arteta said: "I am very happy with the performance both individually and collectively. We were very dominant and created many chances, so the result should have been bigger than 2-1. Losing Timber yesterday and Calafiori today during the warm-up forced Declan to play as a full-back, but he delivered a great performance, which reflects the spirit our players have and their strong desire to win."

On dealing with injuries, he added: "We have survived six months full of injuries so far, and we hope things improve. The good news is that we got Gabriel back earlier than expected, thanks to the medical staff's work and the player's own effort. The performance was excellent against a strong team."

Regarding maintaining the top spot despite Manchester City's win: "We can only control what we do, and we are doing many good things that need improvement. We need more players to return to keep the team active and ready. Every three days will be a challenge, and we are prepared for it."

On the possibility of achieving a big win with the current playing style: "It should come; we have a lot of quality. What I like is our style of play, the players' initiative, and the boldness to take chances, despite the tough opponent."

About adapting to a player injury during the warm-up: "It's not surprising; we prepared for that. When I announce the lineup, I ask the players to be ready for any emergency. They must be able to perform immediately without frustration."

Regarding Calafiori's injury: "He felt the injury since yesterday, and it was uncomfortable during today's warm-up."

On the last time he felt comfortable in a match: "Comfort is a big word in this league when the score is large, but I hope not to use it often."

About the impact of the win on the team: "Winning gives you great motivation; you learn and continue. The impact of the win on the team is very strong."
