Steve Bould was see Arsenal pick up their second-straight Champions League victory after a 3-1 win over Olympiakos at the Emirates Stadium.
Gervinho, Lukas Podolski and Aaron Ramsey scored for the home side, with Kostas Mitroglou netting the lone goal for the Greek side.
"We won the game and that's great for us," said assistant manager Steve Bould, who was filling in for the suspended Arsene Wenger. "They made it tough and I thought they were very good, their organisation was excellent.
"We improved in the second half with the ball, but we looked nervy at times I have to say. But overall we are delighted.
"This is a results industry and we got the result. We ground it out. I don't think they had too many chances, we limited them to a few and we could have perhaps scored a few more so without being fantastic we've had a great result.
"Maybe there was a little bit of a carryover (from the Chelsea defeat), but we're hoping now that has gone it is done and dusted. We did great tonight, without being fantastic. We have got back on track, and we're hoping we will get some confidence for the weekend (against West Ham) -- and that will be a tough game."
Bould was also impressed with the performance of Gervinho, who was again impressive in the central striking role.
"He is scoring goals, so his confidence is sky high," Bould added. "I think his link play is gradually improving -- he set Santi (Cazorla) up quite a few times over the last few games. He is learning his trade.
"I don't think he has played there an awful lot and he is a danger with his pace and movement at times. He could be a top player.
"If he gets anywhere Thierry Henry we'll take that all day long. He is learning his trade there and is doing okay. I'm delighted."
The former Arsenal defender was not too concerned about Arsenal conceding another soft goal. "Well, it was always going to be that way," he said. "There was only one way to go. Three clean sheets and we've done okay. We haven't had an awful lot of goals against.
"The goals that have been against in the main have been set pieces, which we're all disappointed about and think we can improve. Things are looking okay."
