Arsenal got back to winning ways after taking care of Sevilla in their Group Stage match in the Champions League.

Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka scored the goals in the 2-0 win against the Europa League powerhouse.

Declan Rice was thrilled with the victory, not just because it snapped their two-game losing streak but because he got to play in a position he is more comfortable with.

"To be honest, probably my best position is as a 6; I get a bit excited as an 8, I got a bit excited. I'd like to go dribble the ball," he said.

"My biggest strength is breaking up the play, taking the ball from deep trying to dictate. Every time Mikel Arteta says I'm playing six, I get a bit excited!"

He added that playing in such a spot allows him to show the other side of his game.

Not a flawless victory

While Gunners and players celebrate the victory, they are not yet out of the woods as they face the probability of missing Saka in some games after injuring himself.

Saka was forced out of the match with 15 minutes to play after awkwardly falling while trying to reach a header.

Manager Mikel Arteta still doesn't have confirmation on the extent of the winger's injury.

"Bukayo [Saka's] injury was a knock. Hopefully, he'll be okay because we are already missing some players."

Arsenal remains at the top of the Group B table, carrying a four-point lead over second-place PSV with still one match week.
