LONDON -
Gunners manager Mikel Arteta was full of praise for his new players, as Zubimendi bagged his first goals for the club following his close-season move from Real Sociedad.
The Spain midfielder opened the scoring in the first half and netted again in the closing stages, after fellow summer signing Viktor Gyokeres doubled Arsenal's lead soon after the break.
"Certainly, he's given us a lot of positive things, his presence and authority on the pitch," Arteta said of Zubimendi.
"The new ones that started, five of them today. You can sense that there are new relationships developing there.
"Noni (Madueke) I thought he was exceptional. He's very skilful and very unpredictable. He's always trying things, you get that with the creative players."
On the gelling of his new signings, he added: "I had no question about what we want in the dressing room from what we're going to have, no problem."
