The Czech midfielder secured an important three points late on after
Olivier Giroud had swept Arsène Wenger’s side into a first-half lead.
Rosicky feels Arsenal were hampered by their Champions League defeat
against Monaco on Wednesday but said that the team were now back on
track.
“You could see that the lads were affected by it and the technical
level of our game was not there,” the midfielder told Arsenal Player.
“It was difficult as we were affected by the loss to Monaco but you
go through disappointments throughout the season, you just have to fight
through it.
“I’m glad we have these three points, it’s very important for the confidence of the whole team.
“It was a difficult game. We weren’t at our best after the
disappointing night against Monaco, so it was very important to win and
get the three points which we managed in the end.”
Rosicky was also pleased to score his third goal of the season on
Sunday – a strike that made the seven minutes of stoppage time more
comfortable.
“I was a bit lucky because there was a little deflection but I was in a good position,” he said.
“Mesut gave me a good ball because he saw me coming to the edge of
the box from deep, so I shot towards the far post and got a bit lucky
with the deflection.”
