He said, “Yes, definitely. That's why we took him. Even in these games he takes positions and after a difficult week I think he came in very well.”
Arteta continued: "We have collected a point and now we are thinking about Sunday’s match against Manchester City. It’s not easy to play against Atalanta.
"Maybe if you score the first goal it’s different but today it wasn’t easy."
