"We won in a difficult stadium, against a good opponent. The record they have here is incredible and when you go 1-0 down it makes it even harder. We have to navigate through some difficult moments. We started really fast and aggressive and again adapting. We had some injuries and sickness and we had to play some different players," said Mikel Arteta, Arsenal manager, in the post-match interview.

"I think we showed a lot of composure, a lot of desire and a lot of attitude to turn the result around, to make things happen, to take the initiative," he added.

Thomas Frank Reflects On His Side's 3-1 Loss To Arsenal

It was a tough pill to swallow for Brentford manager Thomas Frank, as his side succumbed to a 3-1 loss at home to Arsenal despite of taking the lead and dominating the first half at the GTech Community Stadium.

"I think we did a lot of things right and overall it was a good performance. First half was extremely good and I liked the way we played - we were brave on the ball. We were brave under high pressure as well and overall I think we did well. The finest of margins we have to do better. We need to do better than one more goal. If you want to beat Arsenal we need to do everything right," said Thomas Frank.
