Arsenal are back in fourth place in the Premier League table, and Arteta, who spoke to Sky Sports after the win, said: "We didn't concede a goal, but we didn't play well. If I had to analyze the game, I would say we won ugly.
"Today we won ugly wins, when the team didn't play at their best level, they found a way to win ugly, and today we were really poor. We lacked composure and dominance to play the game we wanted to play, but we found one that went through set-pieces, through a very good defense and lost anything but the goal.
"Being able to beat West Ham away is a credit to the kids. They showed the spirit we had. Arteta also took the time to praise The performance of Holden, who scored the second league goal of his career in this victory: "He's great, he's the best in the game. He scored a goal that contributed to his whole, whether he played or didn't. When he needs to play five minutes or start, he's always there. ”
