The victory was Arsenal's biggest ever away from home in Europe, while they also became t𒁏he first team to score seven in an away knockout game in European competition.
The lead puts them in a near unassailable position in the tie and they look destined to meet either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid in the quarter-final. It is, according to Ar🏅teta, a boost for the side who have fallen 13🐟 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race.
"It obviously gives us a lot of joy, confidence and belief and then in football, it's not what we di🌄d three days ago, or today, it's about what we're going to do tomorrow, or at Old Trafford, how we behave and able to win again," he told reporters.
"Enjoy toni🧸ght because it was a very impressive performance, an unbelievable score, so we deserve that, and now take that, and keep improving as a team.
"It's something that hasn't been done so it's great to be a part of that [on achieving their biggest away win in ওthe Champi🌜ons League], but as a team we want to achieve many other things that are far more important than that."
Arteta also recognised the performance of 17-ꦍyear-old Ethan Nwaneri, who scored hi▨s eighth goal of the season in all competitions.
"I don't think that🌟 he needs any pushing! You see him every time he has the ball what the intention is, so if he comes, he comes, and it's great and really impressive again the way he behaved, the way he played tonight," Arteta added.
The Gunners travel to Manchester United next in the Premౠier League on Sunday.
