In-form Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has hailed his side's performance in their crucial win against Leeds, a result which saw them tighten their grip on fourth place.

Nketiah scored a superb brace inside the first 10 minutes at the Emirates to put the hosts in cruise control, although they were made to withstand late pressure when Diego Llorente tucked home to set up a nervy finish.

And in his post-match interview, the frontman - who has been linked with a move away from the Gunners - opened up on his feeling of pride after his two-goal salvo. 

'It's amazing. It's always nice to score,' he told Sky Sports. 

'I think it's a big three points. Like I said before the game, we've been working hard. We want to do it for the fans. 

'It's amazing to get the three points and we're closer to our objective.'

Questioned on his resurgence in north London, Nketiah insisted the importance of game time, and also found the time to praise his team-mates for their assists.
