Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has commented on their 1-0 win over Hull in the 10th round of Premier League fixtures.
The Spaniard was pleased with his team's performance and called for his players to be recognised for their work since the international break.
Martin Odegaard scored the only goal of the game in the 72nd minute. Arteta said Arsenal had to be patient, with their opponents preventing them from creating a decisive chance for much of the match. He also commented on an overturned penalty.
“I am very pleased with the performance and the win. I think it is time to praise my players. What they have been doing, not just today but since the international break, deserves admiration.
We had to wait and stay patient towards the end of the match to get what we wanted and win. We kept creating chances, but we lacked the final pass and some shots were blocked. At half-time we said that, if the situation did not change, we would have to keep going until the final whistle. But at some point the goal was bound to come.
We had some great chances. We need to be better at finishing the chances we create against our opponents. That is what we need to improve,” Arteta told BBC Match of the Day.
