Arsene Wenger:

"We were nervous and surprised by their start. I feared that we could start with the handbrake on because of the pressure we are under.

"We were not completely at our best because of the pressure but we showed mental strength and did not lie down. Mathematically a draw is not the best solution for both teams but it is a point which will help us."

"You could see that the players were down after it went to 2-1 but they gave everything to come back. The draw is the least we needed today. Psychologically it was important not to lose.

"Koscielny has an Achilles injury, I don't know how long he will be out for.

"We are in a tough battle for the top four. I am professional and I have shown great loyalty in the past. I love this club, I don't know how long I will be here, I am clear in my head, that's the most important thing. The decision will be soon."

Leroy Sane :

"I am disappointed that we did not win, the other scores were good for us as Chelsea lost.

"It is very difficult to catch Chelsea, it was important that we won today. We only have one point and now on Wednesday we play them."

Pep Guardiola:

"They were better in the second half, but it's OK, time to improve.

"We didn't play in the first half, after the goal we forgot to play, the desire went. In the second half we played more. We suffered a lot in the first half because we did not make those passes together.

On playing Jesus Navas at right-back: "I want to congratulate Jesus Navas who was excellent against one of the best players in the world in Alexis Sanchez.

"I played him because Bacary Sagna was injured and Pablo Zabaleta were not ready and Jesus always deserves the best because he is an excellent guy and I was so happy with him."
