'Thanks to him we won the game': Mikel Arteta hails Arsenal defender Rob Holding for his decisive role in his side's hard-fought victory against Wolves, as he says his attitude and commitment are 'incredibly good'

Mikel Arteta has hailed Rob Holding for his decisive role in Arsenal's crucial, hard-fought 1-0 victory against Wolves last night.

The defender was introduced shortly after Gabriel Martinelli was sent off following two yellow cards just seconds apart, and ensured the visitors kept a clean sheet.

Holding was on hand to repel a host of attacks from the home side during the second half and after the game, his manager reserved special praise for him.
