What they Said
"We kept the same game plan we had at the first half, but the first half they were playing fantastic. They were dominating. We couldn't get the ball easily. We were defending low, we are defending well. We didn't concede corners, only one corner and they score. But we needed to be passionate and try to keep being resilient and we were speaking after the first half in the dressing room."
"We were getting better but we needed to change some fresh legs and as well different players."
"He was so, so focused. Keeping the game plan like we planned and doing his tasks, he's normally getting his numbers and today scoring goals is fantastic."
"We are playing against Arsenal and our mentality is to compete strongly. And we are not going to speak about our target in the league until we are in the day 34 because there are teams contending with a huge power to get points like Liverpool, like Chelsea and they are keeping contending more than us to be there. Of course we are performing very well, we are in a row winning matches, we are competing fantastic, we competed first half fantastic and we were struggling. But the second half more or less like this season we are progressively getting better and being humble."
โNo, 38 matches. If it finishes tomorrow then this match against Arsenal is finishing the league. There is still another 20 matches to play."
**Unai Emery, post-match.**
"An amazing win. For me personally to come on and score two goals is a great feeling - but to keep up this run and come here, a tough place, and beat Chelsea is amazing.
""He changed it because Chelsea were going man for man but they had the extra centre-back when we were going long. When I came on in the second half he brought Jadon Sancho and Morgan Rogers on the wing and put Youri Tielemans in the No 10 - so we had an extra man in there. He's a tactical genius.
"I haven't been where I want to be but I can use this as a marker to push on for the end of the season.
"I can't say that's a classy finish at the end of the day, but I'll take it all day long.
"He wasn't marking me too tightly, so it's basically a free header. It's nice to see it float into the corner.
"I feel like teams are worried about us, even if we may not play the prettiest football at times. We're taking each game as it comes and focusing on ourselves really. There's a lot of talk about us and people asking if we can win the title, but it's a long way away. We're just focusing on the next game."
**Ollie Watkins.**
