Laurent Koscielny pleased by 'battling' Arsenal

Laurent Koscielny praises Arsenal's fighting spirit following their narrow victory over Leicester City.

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has praised the team's battling qualities following their victory over Leicester City.

The Gunners made a return to winning ways in the Premier League last night as they saw off the Foxes 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite a plucky performance from struggling Leicester, Koscielny is pleased that Arsenal fought hard to secure the points.

"After the defeat against Tottenham it was very important to win this game," he told the club's official website. "It was a hard game with a difficult period but we stayed strong and the three points are important.

"They played well [in the second half] with a different system, they have some good quality players up front but we stayed strong, we conceded some opportunities but our players fought to keep the three points with us."

Arsenal continue their defence of the FA Cup on Sunday when they host Middlesbrough in the fifth round.
