Santi on his penalty and Koscielny

Santi Cazorla sealed the three points at Emirates Stadium with a dramatic penalty, before speaking to the media. 

Laurent Koscielny's birthday bicycle kick was no doubt a talking point, while the midfielder also discussed his penalty style, our new signings and an important victory. 

on the win…
You’re welcome! It was a great big story of the team because to was a hard game for us, but three points was very important to us.

on the penalty…
It was difficult. I tried to keep calm, and I remember it was against West Brom it was the same because the defender was touching it on the floor all the time. I wanted to shoot down the middle, but scoring was the most important thing because three points was really important.

on if he will keep going down the middle…
I don’t know, because maybe the goalkeeper will stay in the middle now!

on if Arsenal deserved to win…
I think we played much better than them. It was true the first 30 minutes in the first half we needed to press a little high. We had control of the game and we had a few chances through them. They had a good chance in the second half with Shane Long, but I think we deserved it.

on Mustafi’s debut…
He adapted well. It is true it is their first game and they need time, but I think they are good players and they won’t need a long time to adapt to the team. We are very happy for them.

on Koscielny’s goal…
It is amazing. He is one of the best defenders in the world, and we are lucky he plays for Arsenal so congratulations to LoLo - and happy birthday my friend.

on if he could be a striker…
It was a good goal, a very nice goal for him. The most important was the team playing very well, and we ned to improve week by week, but now we need to think about PSG on Tuesday.
