Speaking to Sky Sports after the game on Sunday, Mikel Arteta said: "It is just part of the journey. You learn from every defeat. But the team is so willing. It is a joy to work with them. We have to live this moment we have to carry on.
"I am so proud. It was the moment with the right people and the right players. We knew we would have to suffer and we did that. You need a big performance and the crowd too. It feels like a big win. We were there and really aggressive.
"The changes helped as well. The quality they produced in the goal was top. Manchester City give you a lot [of problems] and we gave them a lot of issues as well. It is not easy to get out. You need the right timing, the right movement.
"You also need the right moments. I like the courage. You are going to have these [hard] moments against this team. You have to be direct and managed the emotions and make sure you don't get caught against this team."
