What Sergio Ramos and Mikel Arteta did after Champions League clash between Sevilla and Arsenal

Arsenal are now top of Group B following their win over Sevilla in the Champions League. The Gunners were victorious in Spain having beaten the La Liga side 2-1 on Tuesday evening.

A piece of magic from Gabriel Jesus set up compatriot Gabriel Martinelli to open the scoring on the stroke of half-time at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. Jesus doubled Arsenal's lead in the second half with a fine, curling finish of his own – although he later limped off having moments earlier held his hamstring.

A thunderous Nemanja Gudelj header reduced the arrears on the hour but Arteta’s side saw out the closing stages to secure victory. The result leaves Arsenal top of the group on six points, with second placed Lens on five points.

Asked how big a win it is, Arteta said: «Yes but that’s the difficulty of winning in the Champions League and it shows how much we have to value that. That result against Lens put us in a difficult position and the team had to react.

»We are coming from the back of very difficult games where the team has to step in and go against adversity as well with some of the injuries that we picked to big players. The team is so willing to at least try their best even if we don’t manage to be our best all the time."

After the match, Arteta went onto the pitch to embrace his players and celebrate the win. Interestingly, as shown in the TNT Sports TV coverage, Arteta was seen hugging and speaking to Sergio Ramos not long after the final whistle.
