‘We were ready to give everything out there’

What a performance, what a north London derby.

From front to back we were superb as we beat Tottenham 2-0 on Saturday, and Aaron Ramsey was right at the heart of it.

“It’s brilliant - we needed that,” the Wales international told Arsenal Player. “We wanted to capitalise on being at home and we had a good first half.

“We had the game wrapped up at half-time really, we just needed to be clever and smart in the second half and we managed to keep a clean sheet as well.

“I think everyone was ready to give everything out there today. We covered a lot of miles out there, so we really wanted to get that win and we gave everything we could to get that.

“We defended well, went forward well and attacked well. We created a few opportunities and  played at a good pace. It was an Arsenal performance.”
