Thomas Frank: "It is a very good point"

“Of course, it is a very good point against a very good Arsenal team that beat Real Madrid four days ago,” says Brentford’s boss in an interview with Sky. “Fighting back to get to 1-1 shows the character in our team. I would have loved us to create more but they also defended very well.”

On Wissa’s latest goal: “It is such a privilege. How many No 9s have scored 15 Premier League goals this year for a team that, with all due respect, is not amongst best in the league? That is a big credit to Wissa but also the chances we create.”

On conceding from one of their own corners: “We are so annoyed because we were doing so many things well and we know they are good on the break.”

On Brentford’s ambitions for the rest of the season: “We would love to compete for Europe and aim for as high as possible. That is what we are fighting for every single year and game. We are never celebrating a point but it is a very good point. We will keep pushing.”

Arteta on Real Madrid: "It's time to recover well"

“It’s time to recover well and tomorrow we start to start preparing for the most beautiful game of the season.”
