"All the sympathy in the world in everything that Mauricio Pochettino has been through and is doing," Arteta said in his post-match comments per a post from Fabrizio Romano.

"He's doing a good job. They deserved to win all their last 7 matches," Arteta added.
The comprehensive victory over their London rivals was a significant statement from Arsenal, who have now established a comfortable lead at the top of the Premier League table.

Trossard's opening goal set the tone for the Gunners, and Havertz's double, along with White's strikes, ensured a memorable evening for the home supporters.
