How badly did you need that and what does it mean?

It means so much for the players.

I'm so delighted for them.

They've been living under enormous pressure the last couple of weeks and I felt you've seen it in their performances.

They believed in how we want to play football and I could feel there around 60 minutes like West Ham getting tired, our passing were getting a bit crisper, a bit faster.

All of a sudden we sliced them open and the boys did amazing.

Yeah, but then that's football.

That's the nice part of it as well, like throws a curveball at you all the time.

The players responded and they dealt with it.

But the main thing is the last 30 minutes.

Even if so, at the beginning we tried to play.

We wanted to have that game and West Ham got tired and the boys just stepped up, quicker passing.

I'm just delighted there's been so many great players that worked so hard.

It's something we talked about in the Premier League today.

You need to work hard, both offensive and defensive, and they definitely did that today.

on the back for the manager?

You put Pepe in, you put Martinelli in?

No, it's down to the players.

I'm just there to guide them a little bit, but I am so pleased with him today.

Did Nicolas Pepe's Arsenal career start properly tonight?
