Mikel Arteta praised his Arsenal side for finding a way to get the result against West Ham United on Saturday.


The Gunners sealed a 1-0 victory over the Hammers at the Emirates Stadium, thanks to Alexandre Lacazette’s close-range strike in the 78th minute.


The goal was initially cancelled as the striker was flagged for offside, but VAR gave the goal after a review.


Following the triumph, Arteta expressed his delight at the ‘unity and solidarity’ of his players.



"We had the moments of luck we needed but as well it was because we had some really good individual performances at the back, sometimes to clear the ball, sometimes to make the save," said Arteta as the Metro reported.


"I'm really happy with the result because big teams find a way, when they don't have the best day - which is obvious, it wasn't our best day in terms of performance - they find a way to win it.

"You can build from there and you can learn and you can take the positives and the negatives in a much better way.


"The unity, the solidarity the players are showing, at the end it pays the price. It didn't pay the price a few days ago when played Olympiakos here but it did today."
