"It's always going to be difficult when you get a result like we had at Wolves, but it's how you handle that, and how you respond to it, and today we showed that in a good way. To get this result and this performance, it was the perfect way to respond. So, it's a good sign. The thing is, that, we have to keep showing it in the next game and the game after that."
"It's important sometimes just to say what you feel and to let it all out in the group. Most of us spoke. Everyone can recognise how different people feel in the moment and you get a better understanding of the feeling. When you speak in the group openly like that, you come closer together and it's very important to do that sometimes."
Arsenal produced a decisive 4-1 north London derby win over Tottenham, with Viktor Gyökeres and Eberechi Eze both scoring twice. The victory came four days after a 2-2 draw at Wolves that raised questions about the team's title mentality. The win extended Arsenal's lead to five points over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Players held a frank meeting after the Wolves game, with several speaking openly to reset and strengthen group cohesion. Gyökeres said the response showed character and stressed the need to maintain that level across many remaining fixtures.
