"It's unbelievable," Mikel Arteta told BBC Match of the Day following the final whistle. "I'm not sure when it happened in our history.
"After the international break, we received a few knocks. The team's reaction was spectacular. It demonstrated a high level of team maturity.

"We had to adapt and utilize various players and attributes. I hoped they'd do something with the ball, and we did. Sometimes better than others. They are a really good side.
"When we had to defend in deeper regions, we did quite well. There is still room for improvement, but we have another significant victory. I know how our supporters will react to this, so enjoy it."
Arsenal's next Champions League match comes against Atalanta in Bergamo on Thursday, followed by a massive Premier League showdown against Manchester City the following Sunday.
