Speaking after the game, Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice told TNT Sports: "After the upset in the cup and on the weekend, a club like Arsenal can't be losing three games in a row. The manager made that clear."

Discussing Sevilla's defensive tactics, Rice said: "Sometimes when you're playing against a back five it's hard to break down but we kept persisting.

"I've just been taking it game by game. I don't want to be boring but every time I put the shirt on I try to start well. I want to do the best I can for the team. There's more I can still add. But it's been a good start. I'm excited for what's to come."

Arsenal's two remaining group games in the Champions League will be against Lens at home and then away to PSV.

Rice added: "Our next game here is at home. We're close to the knockout stages and once you get there it all starts again. That's how you push on and stay focused.

"We love it. You see how passionate Mikel Arteta is. He's living the game through us. He's so energetic. It really fires us up for the game."
