Danny Welbeck described Arsène Wenger as 'a legend of the game' after featuring in the boss’ final ever match in charge of us.
The striker was part of the historic 1-0 win over Huddersfield, coming on in the second half, and afterwards he was asked about Wenger's 22-year reign.
"It’s a long period to sum up," Welbeck said.
"I think obviously he’s a legend of the game because of what he’s done for the Premier League, world football and not just Arsenal Football Club, so that says it all really. I’m very fortunate to have played under him and been through his guidance so the way that he’s supported me and kept faith in me, I’ll be forever grateful."
The fans and players were able to celebrate the send off with a final-day win, ending a long run with an away point in the Premier League.
"it's been emotional time, but I think we’ve got to stay professional in and around the place and when it comes to games, we want to do our best and get the three points and today we done that and finished on a positive note."
