"Regarding the red card: brutally surprising! In connection with the Premier League, people often speak about English toughness.

"I got the ball 100 per cent and got a red card. The pictures were not checked by the VAR. I've seen tougher tackles that weren't even rated as fouls.

"Do I get prejudged? I don't know - I don't even want to judge that. I won't let myself be driven crazy about it. I can't undo anything anyway. All I can do is look ahead."

"I consider myself happy with it - besides, I am healthy, which is the most important thing in the end."

The Gunners are going to face Norwich in an away match in the Premier League looking to pick their first points in the new season after three defeats.
