Arsenal 'games away' from winning two competitions - Arteta
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I'm extremely happy today. It was a really tough match to play. We came back to Madrid very late on Thursday. We gave so much in that match and had to play a game in good form [in Fulham].
"I think the team played incredibly well today. We dominated and showed the hunger we discussed before the game. We have the opportunity to win two major competitions. We're games away from achieving that. The boys feel extremely privileged to be in that position. Today, they showed the kind of team we are."
On the reaction of the Arsenal fans: "That's exactly what we need. If we can produce that synergy between the players, actions and the crowd, we make one hell of an opponent."
On Bukayo Saka: "He made another step today. We need to be very cautious in the manner that we are loading him, but you could tell today the things that he can do."
On Myles Lewis-Skelly: "He has the ability to play in every position. He's so gifted. He's had to wait and be humble, which is not easy with what he did the season before. Today, he got rewarded for his behaviour."
Arsenal midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I just want to say thank you to the boss and the players for putting their trust in me. I feel like I needed to be ready today, and I'm glad they took the chance. I loved it.
"We've just been saying [we need to] play for each other and play with intensity, then our quality will shine through."
On Arsenal's position: "It's well deserved for this club, it's where we're meant to be. We have to take this opportunity now, because it's there for the taking. We see pressure as a privilege."

Arsenal extended the longest unbeaten home record for any side against another in English football league history (P33 W26 D7), winning 13 of their 19 Premier League home game against Fulham (D6), only against Southampton have they played more home matches in the competition without losing (25).
Viktor Gyokeres became the second Arsenal player to score 20+ goals (21) in all competitions in his debut season this century and first since Alexis Sanchez in 2014-15 (25 goals).

With Manchester City having been in FA Cup action last week and not playing until Monday, they made the most of their chance to extend their lead in top spot and ease relieve some of the tension.
Boss Arteta has to be given credit for taking what could be perceived as risk by playing left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly in midfield for the first time and leaving out Martin Zubimendi, who has played the most minutes of any outfielder in the Gunners squad.
The 19-year-old Lewis-Skelly looked assured in the role and, with Riccardo Calafiori, Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze all in the side, the Arsenal attack flowed better than it has done for many weeks.
Saka, who started on the right flank for the first time since the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City, was at his scintillating best and a constant threat before he was withdrawn at half-time.
Viktor Gyokeres backed up a good performance against Atletico Madrid in midweek with a double here and, despite some criticism following his summer arrival from Sporting, a 21-goal haul in all competitions is a good return.
The last Arsenal player to score 20-plus goals in their debut season was Alexis Sanchez in the 2014-15 campaign.
Arteta's side also boosted their goal difference, moving four clear of City and also one ahead on goals scored.
The Gunners are now three games away from lifting their first title in 22 years and, if they can overcome Atleti on Tuesday, will reach a first Champions League final since 2006 to mark a monumental season for the club.

Mikel Arteta has given Myles Lewis-Skelly a big opportunity by naming him in midfield alongside Declan Rice.
The 19-year-old was due to start there against Wigan in the FA Cup but had to move back to left back after an injury to Riccardo Calafiori.
This is his first chance to show what he can do from the start of a Premier League match. Bukayo Saka also comes in for his first league start since March after injury.
Arsenal XI: Arsenal starting XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Eze, Trossard, Saka, Gyokeres
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, Hincapie, Jesus, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Zubimendi, Dowman
Marco Silva makes two changes to his side that beat Aston Villa. Harrison Reed and Antonee Robinson come into the starting line-up.

I was at Arsenal's game against Atletico Madrid for BBC Radio 5 Live in midweek and they were mugged in Madrid by referee Danny Makkelie.
Some dodgy Dutch decisions have cost them and let's hope they don't pay the penalty in next week's second leg of their Champions League semi-final, because they should really be taking a lead back to Emirates Stadium.
Before then, Mikel Arteta's side have to switch their focus to the Premier League title race and nothing less than a win will do for them here.
Arsenal are not a free-scoring side at the moment, which is a worry - they are just not clicking in the final third.
But, with what is on the line here, I am still backing them to get the job done with a clean sheet and a goal - or maybe even two.
Fulham have had an excellent season under Marco Silva and they are in the race for the European spots too, but Arsenal have the best defence in Europe and their strength at the back will help to get them over the line here.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0

We've had a few questions sent in around why Arsenal are so prone to injuries via our club Ask Me Anything form.
This has been a recurring theme for the Gunners over the past couple of seasons.
When asked about it during this campaign, Mikel Arteta has said that a lot of injuries in one position puts a lot of pressure on the remaining players and that load increase can lead to more injuries.
Arsenal have also gone deep in all competitions so they have played a lot of games this season.
Kai Havertz also had a long-term injury and since coming back from that knee problem has not been able to hold his fitness for a long period of time.
Arteta regularly references that Havertz is not the only one to have fitness issues this season, but it has definitely been a problem throughout this campaign.

After a creditable draw in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid, Arsenal's focus shifts back to the Premier League on Saturday. They welcome Fulham to Emirates Stadium (17:30 BST) in another vital game in the race for the title.
Eze easing the pressure on Arsenal
Victory would give the Gunners a six-point lead at the top over Manchester City, who face Everton on Monday in one of what will then be two games in hand.
As for Fulham, they gave their hopes of earning a European spot a jolt with a big win over Aston Villa last weekend. The victory lifted them into the top half and Marco Silva's side go into the weekend just two points behind Brighton in sixth.
After a draining fixture in Madrid, Mikel Arteta will surely need to utilise his squad depth when Fulham visit. Overall, he has managed his options well this season and the 22 goal contributions from substitutes in the Premier League this term is a division high.
If fatigue is a factor, the Gunners can always rely on their set-piece trump card. They have shown versatility in the way in which they can attack teams from dead-ball situations too, with last weekend's routine flummoxing Newcastle and ending in a fine goal for Eberechi Eze.
It was a strike that took Arsenal to a Premier League record of 17 goals from corners in one season. Over the past three campaigns, they have scored a remarkable 47 times from corner situations.
In Eze, the Gunners also have a player who tends to save his best form for the final weeks of the season. Across his Premier League career at Crystal Palace and now Arsenal, he has thrived from March onwards in comparison with other parts of the calendar.
Full tilt for Fulham
After stuttering over the last couple of months, Fulham secured a morale-boosting win over Aston Villa last weekend to keep alive their European hopes.
Having struggled against sides in the top eight - with just one win in eight games prior to that victory - Silva will hope his team can take confidence from the result.
It will also give Fulham supporters hope that the team can avoid another late-season collapse. In two of the three years since returning to the Premier League, they have dropped off significantly in the final two months. The signs have been better as of late.
While Arsenal will have to overcome some physical hurdles after their semi-final first leg in midweek, Fulham face mental obstacles of their own - namely, their poor record away at the Gunners.
Fulham have never won at Arsenal in 32 away league games, losing 25 and drawing seven. That is the most matches one side has faced another without ever securing a victory in English football history.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Fulham at Emirates Stadium (17:30 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Arteta confirmed that Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber will not be fit for Saturday but he does not yet know whether he will have Martin Odegaard available: "Let's see how everyone is tomorrow morning. Obviously, we haven't been able to train much but tomorrow we will have the final update."
On another Havertz absence, he added the forward will "hopefully" be fit for Tuesday's return leg against Atletico Madrid: "He's been a huge miss. We are talking about one of the most important attacking players that we have and he's not been the only one. The team has shown an incredible capacity to respond without him."
Arteta was asked if the club has spoken to Uefa about the penalty they had overturned in their Champions League semi-final first-leg draw in Madrid: "I don't know, I haven't spoken to them in the last few hours. We will deal with that on Monday - right now, it's Fulham."
Asked whether he and his players will use feelings of "injustice" as fuel: "Maybe. But I think we have enough fuel in the tank. We are planning to win the Premier League. We are exactly where we wanted to be - four games to go, now let's go."
On a siege mentality among the squad: "We certainly have that, and we need to face each situation in any context to achieve our goal. What happened the other night was extremely disappointing, but we need to make it at home now."
On their mindset approaching the visit of the Cottagers: "Focus on Fulham and hunger. Hunger to compete, hunger to play, hunger to win. Hunger to be closer to achieve our dream."
On managing nerves: "Emotional, for sure. We have to manage it in the right way. But, I want to put more emphasis on showing that desire, that hunger we have shown all season. We have only four games left and everything to play for so it doesn't get better than that."
Asked if there are things to learn from losing to Bournemouth between both legs of last season's Champions League semi-final, Arteta said: "Yes - well, the time of the game is going to be different and, hopefully, the game will be very different. We know the difficulty of the opponent and the schedule."
On whether the players feel nerves from the fans as the Gunners look to win the Premier League and Champions League: "That's a question for the players. I am extremely grateful for the support. We always want more, we always want better, we want every action to be so positive. I know tomorrow is going to be such a special game. We know everyone has to be at it."

Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal squeezed past Newcastle to go top of the Premier League again by three points and could be six clear before Manchester City next play. Even so, it didn't feel close to the biggest story of the weekend, just business as usual at the Emirates.
The biggest surprise to me is that both City and Arsenal have seemed content with 1-0 wins in their last league games, even though both are keenly aware that goal difference and goals scored could decide the destination of the Premier League trophy.
I haven't given up hope yet. Soon enough, they will start going for the jugular in every match, which will be a joy to behold.

Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal defender Gabriel should have been shown a red card for violent conduct against Manchester City, according to the Premier League's key match incidents panel.
However, while the panel believed referee Anthony Taylor should have dismissed the Brazil international, it also felt the incident did not reach the threshold for a video assistant referee (VAR) intervention.
Gabriel had been engaged in a battle with Erling Haaland throughout the top-of-the-table Premier League clash.
In the 82nd minute, the two players literally went head-to-head, with the Gabriel pushing his forehead into the City striker.
Referee Anthony Taylor opted to caution both players for adopting an aggressive attitude on the advice of his assistant.
The VAR, John Brooks, backed that decision, ruling that the centre-back's action was "not excessively aggressive or violent".
Most panellists disagreed with the yellow card shown by Taylor, voting 3:2 that "the extra head movement forward from Gabriel" should be seen as violent conduct.
The other two panellists argued "there is little force or initial backwards movement from Gabriel."
The panel voted 4:1 against a VAR intervention.
Gabriel would have been suspended for three matches if he had been sent off for violent conduct.
It was also unanimously ruled that Taylor was correct not to show a red card to City defender Abdukodir Khusanov.
Arsenal striker Kai Havertz went down under a challenge from the Uzbekistan international when running through on goal in the 53rd minute.
Taylor did not give a free-kick, and the VAR opted against a review for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
The panel noted that "Havertz is not in control of the ball and Khusanov makes shoulder-to-shoulder contact".
Image source, Getty ImagesBBC Radio 5 Live's Euro Leagues podcast has been unpacking the incident-packed Champions League semi-final first leg between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, with a particular focus on the "dubious process" that led up to Eberechi Eze's overturned penalty.
The substitute thought he had won the Gunners a second penalty late on when he appeared to beat David Hancko to the ball inside the area, but the decision was overturned following a VAR check.
"If I'm being honest, I really didn't see much contact," said French football journalist Julien Laurens. "I understand the frustration from an Arsenal point of view because it was given first, but was it really the right call?
"These are the situations we want VAR to make the right call in and I'm not sure a penalty would've been the right call, if it had stood.
"For me, they were right to overturn it. I didn't see much contact, I can't lie."
German football journalist Rafa Honigstein added: "At the start of this year or maybe the year before, referees were told to look for players exaggerating things and to figure out if the contact is enough to actually be a foul.
"They have basically been asked to question whether the player's reaction is commensurate with the contact. So, under this very strict criteria, I would say it was more not a foul than a foul.
"In the grand scheme of things, if you ignore the dubious process, I would rather not see penalties like this one given as well."
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague also joined the conversation: "I think Mikel Arteta is trying to influence the next referee now, in the same way the grass pitch situation felt like a bit of theatre.
"If there is a close call, and there has been enough noise made about it, the referee might feel like he owes something to Arsenal.
"I understand it could've been a turning point in the tie, but I'm not sure you can create such a large amount of annoyance and frustration towards a moment like this."

Image source, PA MediaIt feels almost impossible to look at this game through any other lens other than the one that focuses on the two big penalty calls that went against Arsenal last night.
And yes, despite Diego Simeone's comments about Viktor Gyokeres' penalty, that first one was clearly a penalty for Arsenal, so we can accept that and move on. The one that Ben White conceded, however, was super harsh.
Even if the ball hadn't hit his leg first, the grounds for a penalty would be slimmer in England, so the fact that it was given with the touch that bounced up on his arm is, frankly, ludicrous. Are we to tell players to somehow now learn not to make human reactions by putting your arms down if you are falling to the ground?
This is where I am really pleased Mikel Arteta landed where he did with his scathing comments on one penalty incident, but acknowledgement of the situation with the other.
He just (pun intended) "held his hands up" on the fact those penalties are given, but was not so cool with the Eberechi Eze non-penalty. And that's understandable. Because it was a penalty. Clear as day.
Arsenal and Eze were robbed of a slender lead to take back to the Emirates because a referee was swayed by a home team manager who leveraged the fervent atmosphere to its fullest. And unfortunately, the referee did not stay strong in that moment.
But Arsenal can take comfort in the fact that the return leg is now a one-off game. No away goals. Home advantage. And confidence that they can trouble a decent Atletico Madrid side. I guess we have to take it. I know I certainly will.

Image source, Getty ImagesWhy don't Arsenal play to Viktor Gyokeres' strengths?
The Sweden international started for the Gunners as their number nine against Atletico Madrid in the first-leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Gyokeres won and scored a spot-kick - his 19th goal in all competitions this season - but former Premier League striker Chris Sutton wishes Mikel Arteta's side would utilise him more.
"He's a big, physical striker, yet when they have the ball in wide areas they neglect to cross the ball in," said Sutton on the BBC Radio 5 Live's UCL Debrief. "I don't quite understand that because why have his type of centre-forward and not try to play to his strengths?
"He's not the cleverest player, but he is a grafter and he is a channel runner."
Gyokeres joined Arsenal from Sporting in the summer as Europe's most prolific goalscorer, with a phenomenal 54 goals in 52 games in all competitions last campaign.
His success as Sporting's lone striker was because they played to his qualities of quick darting movements towards the ball, rolling the defender and running in behind from wide starting positions - movements to which Arsenal have not adapted.
"They're not helping themselves when they have opportunities - particularly on the left-hand-side - to put the ball in, they don't," added Sutton. "At one point they ended up all the way back at David Raya.
"They need to give him a chance because this is not a free-scoring Arsenal team.
"People have questioned him because he's the Arsenal guy that's meant to make a difference and he has done all right this season.
"But if you want to score a goal you have to get chances.
"He's a good finisher, so it doesn't help when you have the ball in a good crossing area and people aren't prepared to take a chance and put the ball in.
"I understand principles of play, but you can score from crosses - it is allowed!"
Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal fan Trevor Hills says he is "absolutely fuming" at the decision to overturn a late penalty given for a challenge on Eberechi Eze but is "very happy" with the result and performance in the Metropolitano on Wednesday night.
The Gunners emerged with a 1-1 draw from the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid after each side scored a penalty, but were denied the chance to take a lead back to the Emirates after the referee was sent to the pitchside monitor to review David Hancko's challenge on Eze.
"I'm absolutely fuming about that decision but it's not a bad result at the end of the day," Hills told BBC Radio 5 Live's Breakfast. "We will take it.
"From where we were in the stadium it looked a penalty and we could also see some serious pressure being put on the officials to review that. It took an age.
"If you said to us before the game we'd get a draw in an away semi-final first leg we'd have taken it all day long, but I actually left the ground thinking we could have pushed on and won it. To have that feeling after the game - I'm very happy indeed.
"There is added pressure to this tie because neither of the teams involved have won the Champions League before. It's massive for both. There's so much to play for.
"They haven't got to come and score a goal now at the Emirates but it's still all to play for. Fingers crossed we're at our best and we should put the tie to bed."
