What was the outcome of the Arsenal vs. West Brom match?
So, Arsenal beating West Brom 2-0 tonight at the Emirates. Big game tomorrow night in the Championship. Cardiff against Leeds, the tabletoppers from 7.30 on Sky Sports Football. Some big talking points, no doubt, as ever, on the debate when that returns as well. 10 o'clock, Sky Sports Premier League. Seasons 1 to 7 of The Walking Dead available right now with Sky Box sets ahead of the return of the new series coming to Fox in October. So 2-0 victory, comfortable in the end. Thoughts of Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher with us tonight in just a moment. Before then, let's head straight to the Emirates where Aaron Ramsey is waiting to speak to us. Congratulations, Aaron. Can you put that into context for us?
How impressed were you with your team tonight?
Hi, guys. Yeah, it was a fantastic performance from us tonight. I thought, you know, after all the results, none of them went our way on the weekend, so we had to take full advantage of the fact that we're at home and we managed to do that.
That's interesting, Aaron. Were you watching very closely as Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs all won?
Yeah, of course, you know, you're hoping one or two of them might drop points, but, you know, they're very strong this season, so it's going to be a tough year. There's a lot of quality from all them teams, so, yeah, it was important for us to get the win tonight.
How tough did West Brom make it for you, Aaron, particularly in that first half?
Of course, we know all about their teams. They're very well organised. They get plenty of players behind the ball. It's just a case of being patient, being alert to the counter-attack and trying to break them down. We managed to do that in the end, so we always know it's going to be difficult against them.
Aaron, the role you played tonight is something similar that you played for Wales in that system we've seen in the past with Gareth Bale. What are the differences between playing there as a semi-number 10 or a central midfield player?
Yeah, that's my position for Wales. I like to try and get in between the lines. That's one of the things that the manager asked me to do, is trying to get in between and get on the half-turn and create opportunities. I enjoy playing that role and I still have to do a job. I try and get in to stop the balls coming between me and the centre midfielder, but it's a lot different.
Big incident in the first half, Aaron. Don't know if you had a view of it or not, as Jey Rodriguez went down. Was your heart in your mouth?
Yeah, I was up the other end of the pitch, I was trying to get back in, but, yeah, I think... I didn't quite see what happened, but I'm sure there was contact for him to go down, but I think somebody else had a chance then, so the referee played advantage.
What are Aaron Ramsey's thoughts on the team's performance?
I'm not sure... if that was worth it in the end for them. But I think in those situations, if you play advantage, the penalty is over then.
Adam, we've been quite critical of Arsenal, I'm sure you're aware of, maybe the last couple of years in certain games. What do you think this season could be different to go closer to winning the title or challenging for that title?
Yeah, we want to make... The Emirates, the Fortress, we've had three wins here now, so hopefully we can build on that. We know how important that's going to be in the title run. And playing away against the top teams, we've seen against Chelsea that we're a lot more organised, everybody was aware of what we had to do defensively, and we perhaps could have nicked it at the end as well. So that's the type of performances that we need away from home against the top teams, and it's chalk and cheese to the Liverpool game.
Aaron, good night. You're talking about making it a fortress at home, but you know fully that also to win the league you need to be able to make those performances away from home. What do you think was the difference the other day against Chelsea away?
I just think that we were a lot more organised. The distances between the units were a lot smaller.
