‘Our first goal was thanks to Bernd’

We steamed into an early two-goal lead against Southampton on Sunday - but it could have all gone so differently if it wasn’t for Bernd Leno.

Our goalkeeper made a crucial stop at 0-0 to keep out Nathan Redmond, allowing us to counter-attack and score when Alex Lacazette turned in Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s low strike.

The Armenia international then netted just 11 minutes later and after we sealed the win, he spoke to the media to discuss Leno’s performance, his combination with Lacazette and more.

This is what he said:

on the game…
We had a great first half.
