Arteta: Arsenal's 6-0 win beyond my dreams

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his side after they romped into the knockout stages of the Champions League by sweeping Lens aside 6-0 on a freezing night in north London on Wednesday.

The Gunners’ 6-0 win was the biggest ever victory by an English team against a French opponent in European competition.

“I didn’t even dream like this,” Arteta told reporters. “We had the chance to qualify today and be top of the group and I think we’ve done it in a really convincing way.

“The team from the beginning showed a lot of aggression and determination to go for the game. Everything happened in the right way in the first 30 minutes.”
